January 71 temps bring Tornado's to Missouri !

January 71 temps bring Tornado's to Missouri !

Clean up time again! 30 Tornado's did they say?

They just walked up the Hwy. right in front of me! They were like foot steps straddling the Hwy, setting down left and then right but you still had the effects even on the fringes. They had them numbered and each storm cell had their own collection of tornado's and gifts of hail from golf size to base ball size. Oh I got both!

My roof is leaking more then before but I still have a roof but a lake inside! My torn off door from before stayed stuck in place with heavy planters pushed against it. Others lost their whole roofs.

More just completely lost everything with their homes and barns of animals. One man was feeding his animals, heard a noise, looked up and a funnel was over his head, it left him injuried but took his barn.

Others thought the Storm had passed them and boom! In the calm the next one hit them and flattened their homes, killing one woman there buried under her house! Yes, the stories go on! Nearly 100 storm warnings last night.

Our January - Febuary 2007 Ice Storm

No power, so no kerosene, gas, water, no heat! You and pets/ birds stayed/lived in  Arctic sleeping bags, trying to stay warm!


Starting that one night, then a few hours later at day break the same pine tree was carved in ice
















Trees started snapping off, after bending as far as they could from the weight.






What are you doing here Mr. Robin? Your Food-  bugs/worms Dairy Queen style? How come you are not frozen? Oh I guess you are!

Mule Takes on Mountain Lion

Fwd: Fw: True meaning of "Bad Ass" - Mule Takes on  Mountain Lion - WOW!

This may be a first...

A couple from Montana were out riding on the range, he with his rifle and she (fortunately) with her camera. Their dogs always followed them, but on this occasion a Mountain Lion decided that he wanted to stalk the dogs (you'll see the dogs in the background watching). Very, very bad decision.

The hunter got off the mule with his rifle and decided to shoot in the air to scare away the lion, but before he could get off a shot the lion charged in and decided he wanted a piece of those dogs. With that, the mule took off and decided he wanted a piece of that lion. That's when all hell broke loose for the lion.

 

As the lion approached the dogs the mule snatched him up by the tail and started whirling him around. Banging its head on the ground on every pass. Then he dropped it, stomped on it and held it to the ground by the throat. The mule then got down on his knees and bit the thing all over a couple of dozen times to make sure it was dead, then whipped it into the air again, walked back over to the couple (that were stunned in silence) and stood there ready to continue his ride as if nothing had just happened.

 

Fortunately, even though the hunter didn't get off a shot, his wife got off these 4..
