Tie onto something big, Frank. I *hate* tornados.

oh yeah the twister that took the roof off the place next door, but barely
scratched our house. That house had a detached garage

I'm sure it did.

Last week, I went through a blizzard. Today, we had some more fun, a
tornado touched down a little bit (less than a quarter of a mile) north
of me.

I lived in Kansas for 35 years and saw a number of tornadoes up too close. Once
I got briefly picked up by one in a Corvair (Nader was right about that,
anyway), and another time I saw one hit a turkey farm across the highway from
where I worked. Who says turkeys can't fly? One thing they can't do is land,
though, and about 400 were killed.

When we were kids and a siren went off my folks would send us to cover and then
go outside to see if they could see one. g

Absolutely - gotta be one of the best TeeVee episodes ever. I wish WKRP reruns
were still on the tube somewhere.

There's a humor author by the name of Terry Pratchett. My favorite
character of his is Rincewind the Wizzzard. Rincewind has a 10th
degree blackbelt in running away and an equally incredible skill with
getting out of trouble. Don't bother looking back, just run like hell
till you can't hear the crowd with the torches behind you and then
continue running for another hour after that. That works for me. When
there's something coming at me thats big, bad and could care less about
my feelings, I'm gonna do a Rincewind.

That reminded me of the Firesign Theatre line, "There's hamburger
all over the highway in Mystic, CT". Interestingly enough, last week a
truck going through Austin wrecked and spilled ground beef all over the
interstate. It was treated as toxic waste.

Rincewind is so fun. But in "Last Continent" he winds up not only a
hero, but known as a hero. He'll probably be back to normal soon,
though. I particularly like it when he's paired up with Cohen the
Barbarian. His attitude toward life is quite sensible, particularly
given his history.
