applique

Took applique class in Dallas today.  Learned how to take designs and turn into applique on computer.  A delete here a zigzag here.  Sooooo easy.  Came home with Tornado and Hail warnings.  Got so excited.  But it didn't form.  The "wall cloud'  sucked all the thunder out of the atmosphere. The tornado sirens went off.  Holy cow!  was it scary.  Me and...the neighbors all ran outside.  Dry as a bone and dead air.  We watched the clouds getting sucked in.  10 miles from us a touchdown.  Then it went north to OK.  I hate to admit (embarrassing) I was kind of disappointed not to have the storm and hail.  I have lived w/ tornadoes, hurricanes, and typhoons.  Do you know the difference between them?
