Tornados

“well thank you for grabbing toto”

“Here's what I'm doing about tornados:

“...and the occasional wayward thermonuclear device.”

“hehe, the expense is in the formwork, a little more volume doesn't cost much.

I got the decking and edge angles for the roof of that thing for free from a fabricator friend. The concrete on the roof is about half a yard which costs about $40 I figure that room will cost me less than $500. I'm not putting the steel door in now but we can get 4-5' away from the opening if we actually needed it for it's intended purpose.”

“advantage of growing up in tornado alley

since when is georgia tornado alley?”

“You have more tornadoes in the plains states but more fatalities in the SE. They can see the tornadoes coming, we can't.”

“Cool, dayhiker, you can put some grow bulbs in that thing, a hyroponics system and use it for a bunker.”

“chili, you sound like you have a little experience there bro.”

“I cannot recall at this time.”

“yep first sign....(LOL) Short term memory loss. ..I am sorry what were we talking about?”

“Jon and I raced home yesterday afternoon and went to the house to check on it. We both had the same thought and were both equally disappointed that no tree fell on our house here in Chesterton.”

“I lost 4 garbage cans in that storm.”

“my neighbors lost parts of their roofs :(

apparently there was a tornado skipping around my neighborhood. My power went out again right after I made that post this morning...It just came on a half hour ago.

I walked around and saw the damage...OMG i am glad I wasnt here at the time. There are huge ass trees on peoples homes here.... anyone heard for ruby or is her power still out?? I count myself lucky just to have a few tree parts in my yard.

“We're okay. See my above post. We lost power until early morning and (gasp) comcast internet until about 10 a.m.”

“E F 2 hit brooklyn early this morning. It came into Staten Island but did not touch down till it got to Brooklyn. One woman died here on the island

“holy cow. that doesnt happen very often there, does it?”

“I just came back from a long road trip and talked with a friend who works in Manhattan- she reports that the trains were all delayed and it took her over 2 hours for a trip that would take 30 minutes. A lot of rain fell the night before.”

“Holy smokes, its crazy out there!!!”

“Pensacola took some bad damage from a series of tornadoes today too.”

“The sky just turned green then black. Is that bad?


Sigh, at least i'm an expirienced tornado backpacker... :D”

“Could be bad. I get more worried about when the sky suddenly turns purple, but that's from living in a lightning-prone area of Florida for 16 years.”

“the sky is purple NOW!”

“Nuttin' here, Nic. Come to my house. I'm making fajitas for dinner. Hmmmm...on second thought, you seem to attract walnuts when tornadoes are arround. The walnut tree would probably fall on my house to get to you.”

“Man the talking heads here in Louisville are having a field day.”

“Tornado warning here. But, the storm is very far from us. We came up from the basement once we saw the radar.

Might be a long night!”

“I just warned my son who lives in Louisville. Actually he just moved to New Albany just across the river. RIght now there are warnings around LBL. I dunno why but it always heads towards Clarksville, TN for some reason. I always heard that a system will follow a river. If so watch our up there!

“expecting something to hit Nashville in an hour- locked it up!”

“time to take cover......

Damn.”

“Any good carnage to share?”

“Golf ball sized hail hit NW Indiana last night”

“I think Gore should quit working on the Global Warming Issue and start working on "Why are Tornados attracted to Trailers"”

“Those are good but why is the trailer reference even in there Duhhh!
Just having that listed is amazing. Sort of like repeating man creates Global Warming over and over again, it becomes creditable.”

“we had a tornado touch down in Roanoke, VA”
