She loves you. And also the tornado.
Yes, it is an erotic dance I'm sure... why else would people try to
drive straight into them like a moth to a flame!

Steve,
I hope you didn't believe that hills would protect you from a
tornado, because they wont.
Well, not exactly "protect" and if you've been to the "black
hills" they is a bit more like small mountains... and anecdotally
at least, tornadys just don't form nor live long over complex
topography. I wasn't really worried, mostly because I'm not a
worrying kinda guy. Even a track the width of a power-line isn't
likely to intersect with *my* track at the same time, probably
even if I were playing "storm chaser". But... having seen the
vehicles *designed* for such activity (was it real or was it
affectation?) I was primed to think a little more about it than usual.
Here in NM we had a singular tornado touch down south of SFe near
Waldo a few years ago... the eastern plains see them off and on...
If you see one of those buggers on the plains and you have a road
to run to, you run perpendicular to the motion of the tornado. A
"stationary" tornado is one that is coming right at you.
We really only had one road, the one we were on, and our only
choice was go forward, stop, or turn back.
The Springfield to Monson Tornado two summers ago in
Massachusetts left a twenty mile track up and down hills for
twenty miles that looked like it had been cleared by bull dozers
for the installation of high powered lines. Neat and clean, with
trees barely touched a few feet in from the track itself. Un be
effing leivable .
Mother nature laughs at us while we squirm in our seats. And we
thought she loved us! Is it tough love or is she just a sadistic
bitch?
