the sky looked amazing tonight, right before the storm hit. i can't even explain or describe it. i've never seen a sky like that before. thankfully, i got home before the rain came

I have been out in the eye of a hurricane; the stillness and feeling of being inside a Polarizing filter is bizarre. Then the wind hits. HARD. It's something about the barometric pressure drop/spike/whatever that is really strange for everything. It's like being inside a frosted snowglobe or something....
that sound cool! not that i want it to happen, but it would be cool just to know what it feels like.
the farmers market is every thursday. i've decided that i'm going to get our veggies there once a week. i got an enormous box of potatoes and a box of carrots for FIVE BUCKS this afternoon. i was tempted to get the corn, but there was no place for me to store it at work. hopefully next thursday i work the morning shift so i can buy the stuff on my way home.
the sky and the environment is pretty damn cool when a tornado hits. I haven't seen one yet, but a couple of small ones did hit near where I lived in 2003. Happened in Edina. It is kinda freaky, coming from the east and all, but it's very interesting.
I lived through an F-5 tornado in 1985. I was 10. It was weird. I remember my dad went outside to smoke, and came running back in yelling. You'd have thought he'd be yelling for us to get down into the basement or something, but, no, it was "You guys gotta get out here and see this!" We ended up standing on my grandma's patio and looking at it in the sky about a mile to the south. The sky was this crazy shade of green/yellow, like a fading bruise. The strangest thing I can remember was thinking that I should be scared, but I wasn't. We found out later that this tornado had been spawned from 19 separate storm cells across western New York, western Pennsylvanis and eastern Ohio.
