Hehe
No, you didn't upset me.
I do have a serious problem with severe weather.
You could call it a phobia and not be far from right.
I have seen 10 tornados in my 63 years (on the ground, doing damage, that's enough).
More than Fujita himself.
I moved to New Mexico where the winds get freakish, dust storms are common and flooding rains are too...but no tornados.
The town I live in has had one(1) historical tornado and it was only on the ground for about 50 yds.

Yes, it was in the evening (reply to your earlier comment), though I don't remember the timing of it for certain, though I think it was around 1930 when I took the video.. I'm glad I parked on the west side of the road so my vehicle was slightly pitched (I drive an SUV), had I been on the east side I probably would have been turned on my side.

That's a big one.
They don't make a windshield wiper for that kind of weather.
I know, I've driven in storms like this one for most of my life.
Growing up in Okla will make a believer out of you.
When I see that kind of stuff coming near I pull over at the nearest place available and wait it out.
I was blown off the road by the outflow winds from a major Tornado and once is enough.

@hammerogod Do you really think living in Kansas is that much different than living in Oklahoma?

Nope.
I only suggested that living in Okla is a fuckmare in the Spring.
I have friends and family in Wichita, Winfield, Burden, El Dorado, Lawrence and Ellsworth...and to the best of my knowledge they have all experienced severe weather frequently.
I also have friends and family in Missouri...I am sure they have seen their share of truly severe weather.
No way to avoid it.
Let me rephrase my original comment:
Living in the Midwest sucks during Tornado season.
Happy now?

@hammerogod Well, sorry, didn't mean to set you off, was just curious if you thought KS and OK were that much different, some people think they are depending on what part they're from. I find this the most interesting time of year, keeps things interesting. If you dislike severe weather as much as you seem you, I'd suggest you hide somewhere for the rest of this week, pretty decent system setting up for wednesday-friday, maybe far west OK on tuesday, but time will tell.
