Tornado Season Approaching

Tornado Season Approaching

By Elton Camp

Winter weather seems to be holding on
But, before much longer, it will be gone

What a great relief it will be 
Warm, sunny weather to see

But just hold on a minute there
Again will come a cause for care

Conditions for tornadoes will prevail
Pouring rain, twisting wind and hail

Snow or ice may cause us to slip and fall
A tornado can destroy us, house, and all

The fearful announcement may we not hear
This is a tornado warning, for a storm is near

If it should strike with a force of EF 3 or 4
Get underground or you may live no more

If the funnel and a debris cloud head your way
Go into the basement, cover your head, & pray

Elton Camp April 2, 2013 at 3:38 PM Here in Alabama's Tennessee Valley, we have more than our share of tornadoes. Nothing like Oklahoma, but still bad. Yet, I've lived here all my life and have yet to see an actual tornado, though I've seen the devastation they cause over and over. Elton
