Got me thinking of the song, Tobacco Road

Tornado Alley took my home, took my wife, took my own. My children, before full-grown. Tornado Alley, take me home. Now I wander the destruction, of what once was all my own. A South of beauty, heart and home. Tornado Alley, take me home. Born in the Valley, down by the Creek, didn't have much, but didn't seek. Built my home with my own two hands, filled with love and childhood friends. Tornado Alley, take me home. Life was hard, but it was good. Knew everyone in the neighborhood. Like a pillar, long time stood. Tornado Alley, take me home. She was my life, she was my home. My travel stopped here like a poem. My love of was full, so full-grown. Tornado Alley, take me home. The sky turned gray, and then turned black. Turned upside down to what I lack. Tornado Alley take me back. Tornado Alley, take me home. Tornado Alley, where I roam. Used to call this place my home. Now it's bare and I'm alone. Tornado Alley, take me home. My home was old under the southern sky, so warm and rich as years rolled by. Gone in an instant, wondering, why? Tornado Alley, take me home. Tornado Alley, I will no longer roam, under the southern skies of my home. My life is lost; my life's alone. Tornado Alley, take me home. Copyright 2011 � Ronald W. Hull 4/30/11

Ron, you have cast your emotional arms and poetic verse about the lives and lands devastated by the immense powers of nature. Swirling clouds that twist lives and property into emotional distress and crumpled wreckage. A powerful rendering my dear friend. I bid you love and peace. Jon Michael

My heart weeps for those poor people in the southern states right now, Ronald! Your song is timely and very sad...I agree with Andy..there are some places on this earth men were never meant to dwell....

You'd like to say wrong place wrong time but the odds do catch up. We live 20 miles from the San Andreas fault, which is due, yet we're striving to move to tornado alley. Go figure. Patrick

Some land masses, maybe, were never meant to be inhabited by man.

It certainly was a historically major outbreak and a tragic day for all those related to those lives lost... sadly in this case, no safety measures would have done much good. They were that strong - F5's. Can't get worse it seems.
