Yes indeed, too close... Only a couple people were hurt.. But to see the damage, one might think no-one could have survived..

Man that's terrible and the devastation those things can cause is just horrible. We had one come close to our house back in April of 2006. I actually saw it coming towards our house right before we went into the storm shelter. Thankfully it wasn't on the ground when it went over our house, but others weren't as lucky. When it was done the tornado had damaged 25 homes and destroyed 15 of them. It also left five people injured.

Changed serpentine belt tensioner today.

45k on my 2008 LS 5spd. The belt tensioner was getting weak so I opted for a new higher quality one. After looking at the original the new one looks way better so maybe it will last.

Holy Cow man !!! Yes you were being watched over on that one, imo..Yeoww !!!

Storm shelter is a very good investment..

Been thru way too many Hurricanes & twisters in S.Fla... Seeing all the damage & etc, can really make one aware of how precious life is....

Was going to wash my car today but they are calling for rain on Tuesday and Thursday. I did a serious detailing on the interior and painted my new beauty bar. I'll install it next week one day.

Yeah we were being watched over that's for sure and I'm extremely thankful for that.

Filled er up and got 29.7mpg combined. Not too shabby considering the weather, my wife driving it the last two days (which means the seat heaters and defrost/floor were running non stop) and that pesky CEL.

No longer reading p1174 (finally!) or cylinder 4 misfire (changed the plug last week and seems to have fixed that)...now reading p0172 only (running rich). Now if I can only figure out why it's doing that. Tried searching here and it lead me down the MAF/o2 path, but wasn't exactly definitive. Anyone have any specific ideas, PM me please!
