Transition game

Sorry for fixating on the nasty atmospheric phenomena for the last 36 hours, y'all. It's still quite alienating to see campus with half the trees on the north side either uprooted or creatively rearranged. And there's yellow insulation everywhere, for miles, on sidewalks, attached to cars, drooping from power lines

Dude-- no need to apologize. You need time to process this stuff, and if blogging about it is what you need, then it's what you need.

I, for one, have been looking through the links that you and dvandom have posted. And I too was OMGWTFBBQ at the nuclear reactor. And the bittersweet irony (or whatever) of the soil erosion lab. [Experiment: Apply Tornado. Result: Soil Eroded; Building Eroded. Conculsion: *whimper*]

I don't blame you a bit. Up here, it's been All Flood, All The Time. I'm trying not to watch the TV anymore because I'm getting a bit toasty.

But, but.... I'm getting all my news from your blog because I have no TV and no power at home... *sniffle* ;-)

We just went two hours and change without power, so that was entirely too much fun for me....

I think it's mostly over now, think the rest is just lint-picking. Unless something else happens, and.... *shudder*

You were probably the best source of news for what the eff was going on over there because until yesterday, just about every news station around was completely worthless.

I am feeling much more informed now that everyone and their dog has been putting pictures on Facebook, so I have a good idea what everything looks like and I can get a picture in my head. I do wish someone would name the girl in Chapman that died because if she's from the area, there's probably a good chance that I knew her.

(P.S. I was asking the guys at work the last time a tornado got close to here and they were going on about some F1 [yes, it's been that long] that was here in the 80s. Oy.)

I was having a slight tornado night last night. Tornado warning for Sedgwick County, wall cloud spotted, rotation and tornado on the ground confirmed near Derby, but that was the most excitement. No damage, no injuries, etc. But I was glued to the TV for the evening, got the vault/bunker/tornado shelter/panic room unlocked and made sure I knew were the radio and lantern were. Whee....
