Terrye Toombs

Joined 3 years ago from Somewhere between Heaven and Hell without a road map.

**To find my latest humor, check out my blog: misplacedalaskan.com**

I was born in Arkansas, raised in Alaska, and recently moved from the Badlands of Montana to the beautiful desert of Arizona.

My interests include: writing, photography, gardening, horses, travel, reading, cooking, and baking.

My favorite genres are science fiction and fantasy, but occasionally, I can be found reading paranormal (vampire and werewolf) and gardening - I know, a heck of a combination, huh? I wonder if there's a werewolf beet...hm...

My bucketlist includes: visit the last 14 US states I haven't been to yet, visit Europe, finish my 4 novels that are in different stages of "almost done," get my 5 year old non-communicative autistic son to talk, teach my husband to pick up his dirty socks, learn to knit, win the lottery, buy a horse ranch, and sail from California to Alaska.

Odd facts about me: I like salt on bananas, my best friend (other than my husband) is a llama, I love to write - have no problem getting started but seem to run into a wall shortly after starting, and I hate to wear shoes.

    3 months ago

    Few things on this planet can cause a person to stop dead in their tracks, paralyzed with fear, and overwhelm them by the sheer power and magnitude of Mother Nature. Tornados are capable of all of this and much worse. While it is impossible to predict a tornado, severe weather, or other natural disaster, it is possible to prepare for one. By preparing a family emergency communication plan and an emergency kit, your family stands a better chance of making it through a disaster.
