Lupe, I trust that you didn't eat too much Mexican food before piling that crowd into your shelter. That could have just as deadly an effect as one of those infernal twisters!!!
Virginia had a state wide tornado drill a week ago, (we had 14 last year). I am no weatherman, but it seems that the storms that blow across the plains are far worse than the ones here. Glad you and yours came out ok Lupe.
