Stormy Weather
Buffet goes to a reality show special this week. It is called Freak Storm and stars my mother and my homeboy boyhood home. Our backyard had a lot of transitions in my lifetime, mainly grass, big garden, mainly trees with landscaped stops, trees that got too big and then most of those cut down. Thursday it turned into a sea of branches as a strange little tornado came off Vancouver Lake then traveled a couple miles in a half mile wide zone in the area where I used to ride my bike a lot when I was a kid.
My mother survived the 1972 storm where she taught in the elementary storm and then this second tornado that rummaged through her yard. Coincidence and odds, anyone?
See www.pamrentz.com for a good overview of the storm and La Casa Priscilla.
