That'd be the one, though you live 100 miles from my Aunt, not me. I live in
Dallas, but I was visiting that fateful day. Unfortunately, my Aunt makes
dolls for a living, really nice porcelin dolls. I don't know how many
thousands of dollars I saw smash around me that day... Luckily, she has
insurance...

Dallas is good. Flat, warm, and the last tornado we had in Dallas was...
Uhm, several decades ago. The last tornado in the general area was the one
that decided to take out Fort Worth. Which was, oh, 200 miles away from my
suburb. We didn't even have a tornado watch. I feel relaticely safe here :P
