I used to do it for a living, you know. ;)<br /><br />(...and when I saw that line this morning, I thanked my lucky stars that I didn't have some freight dog out there in a Cessna twin trying to use his radar to probe it for a hole in order to save an hour or two. That was some serious convective activity and a pretty solid and fast-moving squall line.)Tamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07285540310465422476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-3341469780230649982010-10-26T13:35:38.289-04:002010-10-26T13:35:38.289-04:00I have respect for the weather, but I have no resp...I have respect for the weather, but I have no respect for the media.<br /><br />Tornado=bear=OMG we're all gonna die.<br /><br />There will be no tornados; there will be no bears; everyone will be just fine, drink water, stretch out and go exercise.<br /><br />Shootin' BuddyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-82286366143791111752010-10-26T13:01:49.909-04:002010-10-26T13:01:49.909-04:00When the tornadoes hit here in '06, I got caug...When the tornadoes hit here in '06, I got caught by a corner of one.

Think not.<br /><br />Last week a sudden gust came out of a residential side street wind-tunnel, and hit me broadside -- with enough force to nearly knock me over. The ensuing swerve to stay upright took out two wooden mailboxes on [fortunately rotted] 4x4 posts.<br /><br />Headwind, tailwind, I can deal wit' it. That's what gears are for. But that 90-degree 'tunnel' gust was a damn good warning. 'Sudden impact' generally just ruins the rest of the day,y'know?Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14025768362210499102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-72323859667611138292010-10-26T07:05:33.371-04:002010-10-26T07:05:33.371-04:00The Res is in tornado country and I thought I was ...The Res is in tornado country and I thought I was moving to a place with calmer weather.<br /><br />But with nearly 700 tornadoes a year Choctaw country is the US tornado capital.
