Bionici's Journal, 12 Dec 23

It has been a rather eventful last 4 days. Saturday was a wonderful day until about 3 PM when the weather changed and we were under a tornado alert. Several tornadoes hit the midstate area of TN. The alert sounded and the news said a tornado had touched down in Springfield. We live less than 10 miles from where it hit and the tornado was traveling east and north toward us. However, it turned more northward and trailed into KY. Another hit south of us about 10 miles and also went east. Both did considerable damage, and unfortunately lives were lost. Another tornado hit in Clarksville TN where Ft. Campbell is located, and probably did more damage than the other 2. We were very fortunate and only received some rain,....which quite frankly the area needed. While all of this was going on, we went to the basement and my wife continued to prepare for dinner, and was cooking us a pot of chili. We never lost power. We ate on the chili, and I temporarily gained a couple of pounds. But, am now back to below where I started. Chili is one of my favorites comfort dishes. Please pray for the survivors and their families of the tornadoes. There is so much damage in the area. Everyone keep focusing, keep exercising, and keep losing / maintaining your weight. God is good. Time to go play golf, and, yes, it is cold this morning. But going up into the 50s.

We heard about all of the problems in Kentucky and Tennessee. I hate tornadoes and my grandma was one of the survivors of the worst ones in history due to loss of lives. Her family was spared but she had a lifelong fear of storms. It spurred my obsession of weather and built my own weather station in 8th grade. My hubby loves chili too.

MorticiaAddams, I have true empathy for your grandmother. I've been through 4 tornadoes, up close & personal. One was spawned by a hurricane when we lived in Tampa, and the other 3 have been while living in TN. One took off our roof, and the other 2 passed through our previous neighborhoods without touching our homes. We have been very fortunate in not having had serious injury or more damage to our homes. Many people don't realize that middle TN is a haven for tornadoes though probably not as large as the ones in the midwest in Nebraska, Kansas, and Iowa. Chili is one of my favorites. She makes a couple of large pots each year during the colder weather. One of the 1st meals she made the 1st winter we were married was chili. I was hooked !!
