would have

airport.

out, and

tornado warning

I wanted to

Earthquakes,

into a huge

the awning at a

materialized.

> So looking at the footage from yesterday and last night of the storms =
that did hit,

must have been

now.  The

 Now it's

country, just

and property

predict and

human cost.

Dave Marash

something about

It's hard to

us.
