BillyVance 35 #26 October 19, 2005 QuoteBilly, so you heard a warning siren and went outside to look for the pretty green clouds? I can hear the warning siren with a hearing aid on. I hear the low frequencies better than the high ones. It goes something like "woooooooooooooo". Normally I would go out and look for the funnel clouds, but there are trees everywhere so I cannot see the horizon at all. It's just better to hunker down or watch the live TV reports until the power goes out...

gemini 0 #27 October 19, 2005 Quotewhy would someone go outside to look for tornados? it doesn't make sense unless the person is a storm chaser. are you implying that all texans are storm chasers? Nope, just spectators probably with beer in hand and a lawn chair in the driveway. Why during Rita me and all the neighbors were having a little chat about all the leaves we were gona' have to rake up outside around midnight when the winds were howling...
