Roger,

RN>I couldn't take the cold.  I was playing golf as a member of a club many yea
RN>ago when out of nowhere, the temperature dropped to near freezing and it
RN>started hailing on us.  Luckily we had just finished the 8th hole, so after 
RN> 9th I left.  They probably finished the round.  When something like that
RN>happens, I start looking around for tornadoes.

  First, you are correct about the hail and tornadoes. If you are in an
area of hail, especially large, you're in or near when a tornado may
develop.

  Second, I *PREFER* the cold. While it makes the arthritis hurt more,
it means NO HEAT ILLNESS, NO INSECTS (especially the stinging ones), and
NO TORNADOES.

  I am TERRIFIED of severe weather...but after all, having been under 2
tornadic funnel clouds, within a mile of 2 rain wrapped tornadoes (an
F-1 and an F-4), a 2 time lightning strike survivor (indirect, but I
still got the severe shock), and nearly drowning in swirling
floodwaters, can you blame me??

Daryl
