Palallin, I agree, it is Spring time in the land where we live. My point is, the effects outside forces have on each one of us, our passion and hobby. Yes, we each deal with it in our own way. One manner to do so is to contact others in your region and inform, request the power of prayer. I am daily surprised, today included, in the amount of individuals unaware of what goes on around them, and does impact them. Some say "duh" and some blame others, especially the government. Yes, well aware of twisters in Missouri, witnessed them and the aftermath when living at Lake of The Ozarks, Linn Creek, and driving, managing sites in Oklahoma, later in Indiana. Just as pointed out by NH Joe and the collections, layouts (hopefully no owners of these) in the fires California experiences. No matter where you live, your have effects from whatever is in your region. And, no matter where you be from, we all care for one another, have concerns about safety and well being of others. Yes, Spring time in Missouri can get very hairy, time to time. And, yes, it seems people do not, in general, deal with and handle extreme weather as well as use to. I am certain, you too, recall the days before doppler radar and you watched the sky to let you know what was coming. I know I do, most when visiting kin in South Central Kansas when growing up. Yes, as the same with any RR Crossing, you learn to give the proper respect to any danger you encounter, whatever the source.
