    That fourth photo is pretty amazing, especially with the kids' trucks left outside the storm shelter.

    Such a different world from sunny California...

    Yes, but we do have our earthquakes now and again to keep us humble...

    Oklahoma has had over 100 earthquakes this year...a few could be felt. :)

    I heard, sort of man made earthquakes, or have they figured that one out yet...

    Yes Fracking appears to be the reason.

    Crazy stuff man. We usually don't have to worry about this stuff here in UT, but we are overdue for a major earthquake affectionately known as "the big one" that happens every few hundred years.

    Looking at buying land out near you so when the big one comes and California breaks off into the ocean, I'll have ocean front property...

    Thanks. I guess some of my pics may be good for backgrounds. I have a huge amount of panoramics.

    May Jeff Wayne live forever.

    Forever Autumn...awesome track. I must admit I sing with them. :*

    You can guess my favorite track is Thunderchild:-)

    I haven't listened to the whole album in years, I need to get a copy sometime there is so many good tracks on it.
    I think I might have a go a drawing a tripodic Martian tonight, just for the fun of it :)

    Scary! I hate tornados with a passion. About 4 or 5 years ago, there was a touchdown less than a mile from my house and the tornado jumped over my block and landed another block down. It damaged several houses. That's as close as I want to get to those things.
