If there is a tornado warning I can't hear it: though I can hear the cops at the shooting range all day every weekend and I can hear the St Drunky's church festival music...once the rain and wind start I get no noise from town.
Last night...CRACK BOOM lightning hit the pole almost right in front of my place. Lost electric. It was the COOLNESSNESS.
edit: even if I could hear the tornado sirens there is absolutely no where to go, so I just sit and thrill in the danger.
