I was amazed at the number of folks who came after Hurricane Micheal to help us. These kind of events does bring out the best and worst in humanity. (we've had a bit of trouble come to light locally with fake contractors getting their license by paying bribes. It's small time compared to the graft case the FBI have going on on the coast, but still disappointing)I was a small business owner in 1999. Just handyman shit, but we did well. The first ever recorded F5 tornado passed through an Oklahoma City suburb called Moore. 300 mph winds recorded for the first time. People were shocked at the power. My family is from Moore (and everywhere else in OK) so I shut down shop, packed my tools, and headed South to see if I could help. Well, no infrastructure existed so I just went residence to residence, ending up in a tiny little town called Mullhall a few miles north of OKC, pop. 250 or so. It was literally wiped from the face of the Earth. Only scattered bricks and lumber remained of downtown.
This is now an annual occurrence.

Cousin John is up, and we had the TV news covering the twisters on while he was visiting. He was telling about when he was stationed in SD. He lived in a trailer park, but they had a shelter to go to when the warning came. He said the sheriff's department would come around and use the PA to wake everyone up and they would all pile into the shelter and go back to sleep.We need to learn to build downwards but still above the water table in these areas, same with fire zones.

But they have God on their side so all is cool.It's perfect irony that global climate change deniers are the ones most in the path of radical fixes to save themselves. Thoughts and prayers etc...

You should visit north California & Hawaii if you want to see some snow.occums razor? sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. our weather is changing..we still haven't had snow and may break the 1883 record.
We had a foot of snow on Thursday night (first real snow fall) and rain with warm temps on the weekend, all the snow is gone and the grass is green. We get it in waves usually, warm wet air from the south and then a few days of shit from the north. I prefer rain to snow, ya don't need to shovel snow or scrap off frost from windows and it easier on the heating bill too.You should visit north California & Hawaii if you want to see some snow.
It snowed in Hawaii last week & Cali is supposed to get 10 fucking feet in 3 day's starting yesterday.
Only parts. Here in the desert the forecast is for not an inch.You should visit north California & Hawaii if you want to see some snow.
