The Sandbox is a collection of off-topic discussions. Humorous threads, Sports talk, and a wide variety of other topics can be found here. If it's NOT hobby-related, then you're in the right place!

It can be most anything people want it to be. I think tornado discussion would fall under "wide variety of other topics"

Love the new avatar CC. Who is she?

Long time storm chaser Tim Samaras and crew were caught and lost their lives in the storm.

Thanks, CC.

I live very near the area in discussion. So close in fact, that I spent about 30 minutes in my shelter praying the dumb thing would turn.

I am not aware of any of my hobby friends that had MAJOR damage. But, several that have been touched in some way. This board and specifically the Sandbox area have been one way of monitoring and checking on those that I care about.

Having said that, I also love the avatar. Can you send her this way to help with some 'relief' efforts?
