11. We've been lucky over the years

The violent weather seems to be north or west or east or south. It was scary when the tornado hit Franklin, TX. That's 20 miles north. During that event there was a suspected rotation that was tracking to 1/2 mile north of the house. I think it dissipated. What's happening in North Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas is terrible. Houston going underwater has become a regular thing since the 1970s. Very poor urban planing on a very flat coastal plain, too many roofs and too much pavement.
