re: #8 Ian G.

OT, but any lizards here from Wichita, KS? I saw that the city was under a “tornado emergency” (which is a step above an ordinary tornado warning) because a confirmed “wedge” tornado (jargon for the really big, destructive ones) was headed straight for downtown.

Hoping things are OK there, because the warnings blaring from the National Weather Service seemed exceedingly dire.

The storms are moving in through Oklahoma to Kansas. Oklahoma has golf ball hail today and everyone is expecting tornadoes.
2 years ago when I moved here I was pissed how expensive car insurance is here..After the crazy weather I have gone through, I understand insurance rates..This isn’t funny but it kind of is..
It’s amazing how bad hail can screw up your ride..This is the only place I have lived that you see cars so dimpled it looked like a golf ball on wheels..
It looks pretty funny. Car Dealers have blow-out dimpled cars sales. I guess they can make you a great deal! Come on down! The number of dimples and severity determines what amount of savings you can get and a few of the cars had very little noticeable damage.
The first month I moved here we had a freak flatline wind storm. 80MPH out of nowhere. I standing at the window watching tiny hail and white snow combined with dirt with a ton of green leaves, chairs, trash cans, flying deadly street signs, tree branches, It was an amazing show from motherearth that lasted only about 20 minutes then it was gone. It was quiet and calm and everybody walked out to see the damage and the giant mess it left behind. Then there was the Giant tornado outbreak of 2011. Being a newbe in Oklahoma and watching the carnage that year and the pain and hurt people went through..Just about everybody moblized to help out. The stories we hear of dead children during the night and people who lost family and friends. Locals got a lot of information from our media
and ran to their needs in the most dire hour. Everyone watched Tv to find out where they could help with cleaning up or bringing food and money and shelter to their neighbors. My first year here was a disaster.
I learned a lot from the people here. Their love, charity, strength, teamwork and kindness. It was an eye opener. They go through this shit every year. Rebuild and restore and heal those effected. Lots of tears on TV as we watched lives destroyed. Nobody complained on the nightly news during a disaster.. It wasn’t like the Sandy Hook story.
It gives me a special feeling inside.. SHIT Sirens are blowing
