Poetry Hut Blog

During the 3rd time we were in the closet in the basement last night we heard a low rumble for a couple minutes — that got quieter as it passed by or whatever. I don’t know if it was just a lot of wind or a tornado or what. It did sound freight-train-like. And scared the crap out of us.

A tornado hit Fairview, Tennessee, during the 1st time we were hiding in the closet in the basement. Though we have a Kingston Springs TN address we are actually closer to Fairview. I’m waiting for the Emergency Management folks to give me my assignment for clean-up. Thanks to some intensive chiropractic sessions at Action Chiropractic my shoulder problem is better.

The local TV had weather stuff on it all night, (and rightly so) so I didn’t get my Super Tuesday political junkie fix.

Please say some prayers for the folks affected by this weird weather. They’re saying over 50 people died yesterday.

Right now I’m waiting for a tree-cuttting crew to finish so I can get out of my neighborhood.

It was 71 degrees last night at midnight. (That’s not normal mid-South USA weather for February.)

The wireless network works in the basement closet haha. Thanks to the folks at WKRN, for Internet streaming their live weather TV broadcast last night.

To certain visitors: please stop posting your poems in the comments boxes. There are a zillion lit mags out there, but this isn’t one of them. Besides, this blog just gets    billions       millions       thousands    a couple hundred human being readers every day & doing that only appears desperate.
