We were not the only ones with tornado problems.
Sunday's weather was beautiful. This was a welcomed change after Saturday's storms. Tornado sirens went off at least three different times on Saturday, and by Saturday night, we were both stressed out. We made several trips to the hostpital, where my dad was recovering from extensive knee surgery. He is making good progress in his recovery and is now at home.

1:00 PM Update - Today started with drama. Tornado sirens! I woke Courtney up, we got semi-dressed and turned on the TV to discover tornado warnings. Apparently, a twister was spotted about 8 miles away. Things cleared up for a while, then more sirens. This time, the storm seemed closer so we prepared for the worse. We got in the bathtub and covered ourselves with a futon mattress. We stayed there for about ten minutes, then things cleared up a bit. There is still a tornado watch in effect. We haven't seen any photos of damage on the local news yet.
Television Archive - A library of world perspectives concerning the events of September 11, 2001. This is a collection of TV broadcasts the day of the tragedy. You can watch in real-time as the events unfold on national TV. I've watched the CNN and NBC feeds, and they are powerful. As you may recall, the second plane hit the WTC at about 9:04 AM. You can start one of the feeds at 9:00 AM and watch live as the second plane hits. The news reporters are horrified and dumbfounded. NOTE: This site has a 'Terms of Use' page. You will have to click "I Agree" at the bottom of this page to view the footage.

Evidence Against Iraq?
"The question could be a dangerous one for the record companies. Napster argues that if the labels have "misused" their copyrights, they lose the ability to enforce them. If Patel accepts the argument, it could mean no damages for Napster's past two years of file swapping."
