Things that will make you sh!t your pants

CrossFit ICE?

WTF is that?

Regional IPA?

I'm curious what the ethics are in a news station paying for video like that. It is spectacular, but pretty irresponsible. Don't say "well these are professionals...." it only makes some idiot thinking he too can cash in and end up dead.

I was working in a north Jersey restaurant about 2011 and we got a Nixle warning of a possible tornado. As the weather changed to gale-like winds in about 37 seconds, I looked at the floor to ceiling windows and was a heartbeat away from dashing into the walk-in refrigerator. My Dad swore he saw a funnel cloud that day.

I've said it before.
I'll say it again.

Still the funniest piece of recorded sports audio I've ever heard.

Wow. I've seen what I thought were green skies before, but that sky is glowing. If that photo isn't shopped, that's some War of the Worlds ****.

I spent the first 25 years of my life right in the heart of tornado country in southcentral Kansas, and never saw one. I feel both lucky and cheated. We'd definitely always go stand on the porch and look when they were supposed around, though we never had anything actually touch down particularly close.

A tornado wiped out my hometown in 1917, and my mom rode out a famous one that took a big bite out of Topeka in 1966, hiding under the ping pong table in her basement when she was 13.

Looks like everyone in the southern plains dodged a bullet this time in terms of tornadoes. Just a lot of storms chewing up cornfields and little damage, although the flooding in Oklahoma looks bad.

About 25 years ago, we had one tear through our south-central PA community early one Sunday evening.

I was taking a nap in the basement and slept through it. When I woke up, I looked out the back window and the siding had been torn off the back of all the townhouses on the adjacent street. We were untouched.

I've done my share of both hurricanes and tornadoes, and twisters are far more frightening. With a hurricane, if you are not on the flood plain, in general you can prepare and ride it out. Tornadoes can come out of nowhere and rip everything they touch to pieces. Alabama gets a lot of them. When I lived in Houston I had an F1 pass right over our apartment. We could hear it, it was on radar, but it was airborne over us. Touched down three blocks on the other side of us, and scared the living **** out of me.

The only time I've seen green in the weather was green lightning during thundersnow as the Blizzard of 1993 hit Birmingham. We got 18" of snow overnight, in March, in freaking Alabama. That was some severely funky weather. Never thought that I would see a legit blizzard here, but there were drifts two feet deep the next morning.

Good friend of mines grandmother passed away in the Greensburg one.
Have a cousin and her family that was living in Greensburg at the time. Not a scratch on them, but their house was destroyed.
If you drive through Greensburg today, it's shocking the difference between old Greensburg and new Greensburg.

Yes.

Don't feel cheated that you haven't been through one.
If you see one from a distance, they are one of Mother Nature's most awe-inspiring creations.
But if you get too close to one, in the words of the great Bernie Mac, "THEY WILL **** YOU UP."

Is that liveshot 15 minuts away, too?

 

[Inky_Wretch]

The flooding caused by all that rain in Oklahoma is pretty insane. The Arkansas River is expected to break previous flood levels by Saturday.
