Hope you all are staying safe! Just saw a live broadcast & it looks like Missouri is getting lit up with tornado warnings. Praying for you all. ❤️ [Reply]
Sorry to hear about all the damage in Missouri. Having lived in Oklahoma and West Texas, due to my dad moving around with the Air Force, I've been through many tornadoes. I never want to experience another one. Scary stuff.

They also spelled assess wrong.
C'mon...haven't you seen Twister? Bill Paxton had to weigh his flying probes down with his truck. A child would simply blow away instead of getting picked up by the funnel. [Reply]
Our hearts go out to the people of Missouri as they woke up to assess the damage from storms. You are strong and resilient, and we are here to assist. https://t.co/paeOVcUQWn

Thanks, they're west of AA, but that's too damn close. Sent you a PM. [Reply]

The flying cows were cool along with not a hair out of place for the stars. Cows airborne actors and actresses look like Ken and Barbie through it all. [Reply]
