Over the years I've been online I've known people who lived in the heart of tornado alley, and as we've compared our weather day-to-day, month in and month out, it's become noticeable that where I live in the fringe of the Midwest seems to get much worse weather than even they do in Nebraska and northern Texas, and even eastern Oklahoma, where one man I knew had lived seventy-eight years and had never been within twenty miles of a twister.

And now I was just told we've going to have another of our "utterly charming" evenings of probably having to head to the basement as the familiar refrain spills from the talking heads of the media, "torrential rain, flash floods, damaging winds, deadly lightning, large hail to two inches, isolated tornadoes probable."

All this begins at six and continues through the overnight hours, which means little sleep.

Okay, so most of the year it's quite lovely here among our rolling hills and river valleys. We have four distinct seasons, with mild springs full of vernal wildflowers, autumns with colorful foliage, winters with just enough snowfall to be fun, summers that are humid and hot and sheer Purgatory, true, but even they have a certain sizzling charm. But when I hear about life-threatening weather heading our way, as it has several times already in 2017, and will at least another dozen times before we're in the chilly seasons, I wonder why we live where we do.

I could move to Ireland where there's literally one weather forecast eternally: rain, then sun, then rain, then sun, then..." And not once does a DJ over there break into a song to tell you in a Galwegian lilt that some of the people hearing his voice are probably going to be homeless or dead by morning, due to the weather. It simply does not happen!

No, like lambs to the slaughter we live smack dab in the one region on planet Earth where the sky routinely tries to murder you, and there's very little you can do about it.

Blah.

Hang tight, Sister ER. Former Oklahoma native and participant in 6 different tornados, 2 floods, and three happy days in a town snowed in with sub-zero temperatures and no natural gas for the entire town.

We'll keep a light on for you and yours. Be safe.

She let out a shriek and ran out of the shower room, so I went in, had my shower and came out. At that point I noticed that there were two towels hanging on the rack. Mine, and a pink one with a floral design. No one So if anyone happens to see a naked young woman running around, please let her know the Phys Ed flight has her towel.

Are you single and was she hot?  If so, you've got a perfect excuse to track her down!  (You know, just wanted to be noble and return her towel...)

Damn... the song "Power" is actually pretty good.. which sucks cause now I have to acknowledge Kanye's got talent.  But the guy is SUCH A DOUCHE BAG. 

Course, then again, so is Axl Rose and I've always been a G&R fan...

I am happily married and she looked about half my age. I do have to admit she had a very nice bum. If I'd had time to think about it I'd have went and put my towel on and thrown her towel over to her, but I was caught by surprise.

Just how many more tornadoes is Louisiana gonna get this year?

Just how many more tornadoes is Louisiana gonna get this year?

D'j'know that due to its relatively low air pressure tornadoes on Mars are harmless?

Inspired by that...if I were rich, and lived in tornado country, I buy an aerodynamic house. They looks funny, but you're more likely to still have a home when the big blow happens.

I think it would be really funny to hear Ben Stein (in the persona of that Ferris Bueller character he played) do a rendition of the Pointer Sisters' "I'm So Excited".
