Hello, friends and readers of Stormhorn.com! I want to make you aware of a change that’s underway with this site. Hopefully it won’t create any temporary hiccups in service, but I want to alert you just in case any down time arises. Not being technically astute, I figure it’s best to let you know what’s up, if for no other reason than to reassure myself, in the face of my own ignorance, that I’ve covered as many bases as I can!
My old Web host, Tablox Web Solutions, operated by my friends Mitch and Karina Myers, is terminating their service as of tomorrow, January 19. So I’ve made the move to Dryline Hosting, operated by David Drummond. Karina has greatly eased the process by graciously transferring my files for me. Thanks so much, Karina! I really appreciate your assistance!
As the name of his company suggests, Drummond is a well-known storm chaser based in Lubbock, Texas, in the heart of dryline country. The process of shifting to David’s service has allowed me to get acquainted with him over the phone, and our chat just naturally drifted into storm chasing, including speculation about what it would be like to capture video of one of those monster West Texas tornadoes chewing its way through a windmill farm. It’s bound to happen, and I can only imagine what it would be like to watch a blizzard of those 100-foot blades go sailing through the sky. That’s not a spectacle I’d care to view at close range, and it’s bound to happen. With a swarm of enormous wind farms already extant in Tornado Alley and more mushrooming up all the time, I have to wonder how safe it is to live near those things.
But I digress. Back to the move: So far, so good, but I won’t know for sure until Tablox pulls the plug tomorrow. Cross your fingers and hope for the best, which would be uninterrupted service and no broken internal links to my old b2evo blog.
Hello, I’m from Indiana and was 4 years old during the Palm Sunday tornado outbreak. I’m working on a website to collect stories, pictures etc… just for the sake of ‘remembering’. You had a wonderful interview with Paul Huffman, the photographer of the famous twin tornadoes photo. I was hoping we could talk and perhaps we could put your story on the 1965 Palm Sunday Tornado Outbreak site, of course with links and credit back to you. Please contact me at your earliest convenience. Thank you!

Jenni, I’ve looked at your site and it’s terrific! Very nicely done. I’ve already responded to you via email, and would much enjoy chatting with you. The 1965 Palm Sunday Outbreak evidently is an area of mutual, deep interest, and it seems that we both were quite impacted by it.
