I love how so much of this applies to tornado season in Missouri.imaginesJune 12 2006, 21:44:12 UTC
...it is vitally important that you keep abreast of the situation by turning on your television and watching TV reporters in rain slickers stand right next to the ocean and tell you over and over how vitally important it is for everybody to stay away from the ocean.
I remember watching news broadcasts right before Katrina hit, and the reporters were doing just that. o_O "So... it's really really dangerous to be outside, and you are standing on a bridge that seems to be getting FLOODED?!"
Any day now, you're going to turn on the TV and see a weather prognosticator pointing to some radar blob out in the Gulf of Mexico and making two basic meteorological points:
(1) There is no need to panic.
(2) We could all be killed.
That's what we get here, during tornado season! "It is highly possible that you will die, but try not to panic anyway..." Why don't they do something helpful, like explaining the cheapest way out of this area? >.>

tornadoes sounds like 10 million times scarier than hurricanes though. D: the scariest part about the hurricanes are when they come at night and you have to sleep through the sound of the wind howling and the trees snapping and falling down...and the unavoidable loss of power, which leads to no a/c and a super hot and sticky house. :(

*kicks LJ* It does not like my degree symbols. >.>
I'd much rather live in a place with hurricanes. At least you know in advance that one is coming; they don't just randomly spring up and destroy everything. My house has never been hit (hope it stays that way). Tornadoes always head straight for our area and then veer off. I always wonder if this will be the time they don't veer. o_o
We haven't got AC anyway (so I hate summer), but the hottest it's ever been that I can remember was 106 F, two summers ago, and that was a record. It's usually only 95 or so. How hot does it get in Florida?

it gets about 95-98 at its worse. But what really kills is the humidity. It makes eveything gross. You feel like youre in a hot sauna all day, with your clothes on. with mosquitos biting you all the time. :(
