Growing up in Vegas, we rarely had stormy weather, when we did, the worst thing I remember was "flash floods" mostly affecting Ceasar's Palace parking lot. Since then, moving to California, rainy weather, forest fires and earthquakes were problematic. Then in Texas, Ice Storms and threats of Tornados, but now in Memphis, the Tornados are not just threats they happen and happen frequently.
Who would have thought that this West Coast girl would one day be stuck in Memphis TN with my dogs and family in the utility room waiting for the sirens to quit and the warning to expire. I guess I can put up with anything.
Obviously, it wouldn't be my choice to be here in Memphis(Millington actually) but I'm here until I win the Lottery or die I suppose. I'd be in California today had the economy not been so bad even back in the 90s Totally unable to own anything, even then and paying income tax and state tax every year drove me out of that state, but its my true love. Would that I could. Just like a bad boyfriend who uses and abuses you and you keep longing for that one more kiss.
So I'm stuck here and maybe one day I'll retire and will hopefully have some money to live on if the Govt doesn't steal the last bit of money left in Social Security, and we'll leave here for East TN where at least its beautiful and if I'm living in my car, at least I'll be looking at nicer scenery.
