No, we're not mercenaries. We just carry weapons and kill things for the joy of the experience.

Midwestern storms are an entirely different animal.

Ain't that a fact! Ours can often be hit and run, yours just move in.

Rapid forming isolated super-cells VS Frontal/Cyclonic storms

Neither of them should be fucked with.

That's like my Florida hurricane kit...though the last time I actually witnessed a tornado first hand I was lying down face first in a ditch in Arkansas.

Close call, eh?

Yeah...it sounds more fun that it really was, I assure you. It was only an F2, and didn't go right over us...But my bladder control was better than others. Absolutely terrifying and awesome at the same time.

They are only fun from a safe distance.

Like hurricanes or Nor'Easters...it's all fun and games until you lose power for 2 weeks, the water is undrinkable and you sustain significant damage to your property. As much as I generally can't stand RI, geographically if anyone has to live in New England, we're in the place to be, even though we're WAY overdue for a big ass hurricane to beat the shit out of us.

...of course, now that I've said that...


Oh hey, remember that Nor'Easter in March that flooded the shit out of Dimoland? They JUST reopened the mall that took on 10ft of water last week...a month ahead of schedule at least.

This formation is very rare. Both clouds were at the same altitude, but moving in opposite directions. This storm shut down the K-State football game (2 miles from my house) for an hour and a half. Wild rotation.
