i have no basement. i guess we'd all get in the bathroom in this house. three dogs and four cats and their mother.........then i'd try to pull a mattress in and cover us with it. actually, i'm thinking that it could be sorta comical...if it wasn't such a possibility.............i've been in three and they are absolutely terrifying. i was in one on I-40 and it blew an RV into me.........and then i got squashed up against a semi-trailer truck. and then it hit a feedlot. horrid, horrid, horrid.
