viedmaKat's journal page is very nifty. I think it's a monster-ass torrrrNado, but i've been known to see and hear something and think it's one thing and really it's nothing of the sort. ('xcuse me while i kiss this guy...) So i'm going on the assumption that it's a tornado. It feels bad to think that tornadoes look beautiful considering how much damage they do and how many people they've killed, but i still think they're beautiful and very scary at the same time. I like them the way i like really violent thunderstorms. I love to sit and watch them, and my heart will race like mad.
Okay, i've never seen a tornado, not that i can remember. When i was a year old and still lived in Minnesota, Mom was running with me in her arms across the yard trying to get inside (very Wizard of Oz sounding i'll admit) and she turned the corner of the house and there it was big as life. I wish i could remember seeing it. I'd love to watch tornadoes up close as long as i knew they wouldn't kill me, but you can't have it both ways i realize.
So anyway there was actually a point to this. Tonight we had tornado watches and warnings till 8 tonight, and i kept looking out the window even if i couldn't see anything. The wind and rain felt lovely though, so long as i was inside and forced to drive in crappy weather, that is. Big scary things potentially right outside and i can't even see them. Would i even hear it if it touched down? Would it just come tearing through the building while i sit here like a dumbass on the computer and that would be it?
Okay, i might've had a little warning in the form of the guys perpetually perched outside swilling beer going "Whooooooohey!" until the funnel carried them away and their "whoo"s got fainter and fainter, but that's about it.
