Our sirens went off last night. Today, nice day but then turned dark, rainy and windy. We are under another tornado watch.
Tornados are common here in the Midwest.
I have been in one in the past. I laid on top of my kids; my Doberman & Dalmatian tucked their heads under us. All windows blew out and took off the whole backside of my house. The neighborhood was hit hard.
Your feelings seve you well, never take your stamps collection to any pawn shops. You need to go to specialist auctions or specialist buyers. See if you have have a Christie’s Auction in your country they are very famous and trustworthy one of the best in the world all the big rich collectors go to buy. You need to do your research. From the 70’s you should be into big money if you go to specialist. Don’t sell the whole book of stamps one alone can be wealth a lot of money. Slip them up sell two at a time or one single stamp. The auctioneers will advise more you better then me.

I appreciate your insights much‼️ I will remember‼️
