We're apparently under a tornado watch for the rest of the afternoon and early evening.
No. Not just no but HELL NO. Look. We suffer through five months of cold and snow so that we *DON'T* have to deal with tornadoes and hurricanes and all the other crap that you warm states have to deal with. It's the tradeoff, y'see? We get buried under 20 feet of the white crap, y'all get the wind that rips the roof of your house. That's the deal we made. When folks in Texas have their third blizzard in two weeks, that's when I'll accept a freakin' tornado...
The real problem is gonna be if y'all start sending us your snakes, too...
That is all.

Hehehe.
Monday night, we not only had a tornado warning, but the sirens went off and everyone in the dorm had to go to the underground tunnels (that exist because it's insanely snowy and cold here in the winter).
If we can get both, you can, too...muahaha.
My mom was in The Big One that leveled much of Worcester back in the day. So you're not supposed to be *completely* immune anyway. :)
Keep everybody close, and don't go outside if you hear something. Basement, basement, basement.
9 people in eastern Montana just died laughing.
Trade off, eh? You still have a long ways to go for those 50+ years of inflicting Kennedys upon the rest of the Nation! And geez, it just a Watch, so do what we do: fill up the Gas Tank and buy some Bread on the way home.
Oh, and the thing about the Snow? Ask Breda what Lake Effect means in our neck of the woods.
The local kids here lost 15 days to snow this year here in So. KY.
Payback its a bitch!

Send the tornado to Texas as long as it brings some rain. We had 3 inches of rain two weeks ago, with a possible tornado which downed many trees in the area. But that was the first rain we have seen since September. We have been in a drought for about 5 years now. I have 25 acres of oak tress of which 30%-40% are now dead. Everywhere around here is a tinderbox awaiting a match.
I'm with #Bubblehead Les-
Until you start keeping your &%$#ing politicians (*cough*barney frank*cough*anydamnedkennedy*cough*) under lock and key and INSIDE YOUR OWN BORDER, then we'll quit sending hateful shit your way.
I have a box full of water moccasins, giant palmetto bugs and some nice coral snakes for you...
What's that address?
You want the address of Barney Frank's ass?
Several reports of tornados touching down around Springfield, Mass. Saw a pic of one right in the middle of the Connecticut River. So far nothing down by me.
Sorry, Jay, but "fair play" is not in Mama Nature's lexicon. New England CAN get tornadoes.
And hurricanes.
And, very rarely, earthquakes.
Even a remote possibility of a tsunami, if that volcanic island out in the Azores (or is it the Canarys?) collapses.
'Bout the only natural disaster you ain't ever gonna see round here is a volcanic eruption.
Psh. I live 3 miles from Lake Ontario. Don't talk to me about snow. Before I lived here I lived in Ohio where we had tornado watches every week through the summer.
Trust me, if I had a choice I'd go back and face the tornadoes again.
We pretty much never get tornadoes down here in south Texas; that's a north Texas bit, usually. Drought and regular grassfires? Sure. Insanely high temperatures in late spring? But of course!
Then again, we also have Tex-Mex and Shiner Bock, so it all evens out.
Hope everyhting is OK, Jay. Just saw a report of a Tornado in Springfield.
Hmmm... no tornadoes... no blizzards... I guess the worst we have to deal with in western CO is a little bit of heat and low humidity.
Whiner. We get as much or more snow (normally)than you folks do, AND tornadoes.....AND heat.
Man up, boy!
Hope you and yours are all safe. I am pretty luck out here on the west coast other than some wind and rain we are pretty trouble free.
You want snakes? We can do snakes... :-) Come join the rest of us!!!
"Snakes" is plural. I can help you in the singular sense... :D
Don't mind the box with air holes in it....
J/K, turned him loose in the woods once we figured out he was harmless.
O.K. here's a old stand-by:
Q: What do tornadoes and West Virginia divorces have in common?
A: You just KNOW someone is going to lose a mobile home.........
This past winter DeefDubyew had 3 snow/ice storms over a 3 week period. We also had a EF1-EF2 cut through Irving last week, and an unrated tornado on the ground at Love Field at the same time. Hail the size of baseballs to cantaloupes, too.
Y'all just be glad the weather's all we're willing to share right now. Not sure how you'd take to our generous abundance of poisonous insects, snakes, fire ants, armadillo infestations, feral hogs, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever and endemic anthrax. At least we eliminated screw worms a couple of decades ago.
When I was in the Army I just loved listening to you NE Yankees talk about winter like the midwest never saw snow and cold.
Along the same lines is my former neighbors in Iowa talking about how they would rather have cold than hurricanes. Um, you get winter EVERY year. In 14 years I've had ONE hurricane and it wasn't a big one...
