Which is fitting for my story:<br/><br/>Back in the mists of time, Mom, Dad, and I were driving north from Newton to Salina (KS) in order to catch I70 west. I was probably about 7 - Dad had just retired so it would have been &#39;69. <br/><br/>About halfway to Salina in the truck camper, we looked off to the west and saw, I kid you not, the funnel of a tornado about to touch down. <br/><br/>To be cont....<br/><br/>#MyAlaskaWx #Sitka #Alaska #akwx 2025-11-08T14:36:10Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqs9rz8l7mm99km02alvnpyxmn5vwnz5a3aue4f622jq860zrquvhrszyqpkkd7ne8zp95dal4q0u4fk5a5w94nlvlepyzk25cq2s9m6cupzw2pq049 5:30AM: 51F, overcast.<br/><br/>We&#39;re under a high wind/heavy rain special weather statement for the weekend, but you know what?<br/><br/>&#34;Raindrops keep falling on my head<br/><br/>But that doesn&#39;t mean my eyes will soon be turning red<br/><br/>Crying&#39;s not for me<br/><br/>&#39;Cause I&#39;m never gonna stop the rain by complaining<br/><br/>Because I&#39;m free<br/>Nothing&#39;s worrying me&#34;<br/><br/>You&#39;re welcome for the ear worm.

It&#39;s shocking to see and they are devastated. The tree had an eagle&#39;s nest in it and therefore they couldn&#39;t take it down when they built their house.<br/><br/>And now both the eagles and our friends are homeless. <br/><br/>#MyAlaskaWx #akwx #Sitka #Alaska 2025-11-02T14:40:06Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsv509y02ytrrpccdx0mnj4pdtl3vng5t52ydfmqztax57stvy82mczyqpkkd7ne8zp95dal4q0u4fk5a5w94nlvlepyzk25cq2s9m6cupzw4nw8v5 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsym4etl3r939arec6asg9dshcd7zk9wn3kt0k3cqmmedspmx2d0uq683vgv'>nevent1q…3vgv</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Thunderstorms were a possibility in the forecast, so I&#39;m excited.
