May 31st, 2019: Tornadoes
Rich boy, poor boy, whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna do when they come for you.
There is only one thing you can do... hide. That’s your only good option. From The Atlantic... Quote:
If you drive at 100 mph (161 kph) there’s no using hand signals, and your dog won’t stick his head out the window(more than once). Now imagine wind two or three times that fast. The other problem is the debris the wind carries with it. We’ve seen pictures of a piece of straw through a board, and trees impaled by 2x4s, but I don’t know if this picture says more about the power of the storm or quality of construction. It’s easy to see how a tornado could tear across the west where it’s flat, but in 2011 I took these pictures of the aftermath of a tornado that tore across western MA. It started at about 50 ft elevation, took the side off that house at about 275 ft elevation. Then it tore over the mountain gap at 800 ft elevation where the other pictures were taken. After that it continued up and down for another 25 or 30 miles. So it appears terrain isn’t much help. Tornadoes seem to be a North American thing, maybe the commies are doing it. Trump could ask his buddy Putin to turn it off. Or we could put some serious effort into stopping the climate shift. In the meantime hide. PS, elspode said he had one close to him.
