Deep into the autumn, every package or can I open takes me back to conversations around the cookhouse's huge stone fireplace, to wind rustling through alders, and sun-spangled blue-green water, to the promise of adventure every morning.
Other tornadoes -- one that went though parts of Choctaw County, Alabama, and ones than struck Stone, Lawrence and Jones counties in Mississippi -- also were EF2's, which have wind speeds (for three-second bursts) between 111 and 135 miles per hour.
