and electricity out for 4 or 5 days. We were getting ready to go to a center for ice when the power came back on. Tornados have hit southern MD as you know.

so it's hard to give much warning and they're pretty unique to the US. In recent years many weather experts are very concerned how tornados are moving south and east, away from the Tornado Alley Midwest, and the harm they could do to large metro areas like Memphis, Atlanta, even DC and others. Glad things are well in So. Md.
