i rode my Vmax into what was left of Homestead Florida after Andrew got done with it ..eerie

quite spooky really

They seem to be attracted to trailer parks

What we had here wasn't a tornado.More like what the aussies refer to as a "Willy Willy" or a "Cock Eyed Bob"
Calling it a tornado is like calling a fart a hurricane.

not really attracted to them per se .. but the lightweight construction parked for the most part on flat ground in the tornado zone meas that they are more likely to be damaged.. i witnessed an F5 go through a town called Xenia Ohio in 74.. it was part of what is called a 'superoutbreak'.. another one in 2000 hit the same area of town..

they call Xenia " Ohio's Tornado Alley' for a reason..

Yeah, when my Dad travelled through that area of the States, he was somewhat perturbed to see they had the weather report at the end of the news, and then the tornado report . . .

Nah... seen the damage... and the photos... (including the fake tornado one). More than a "Willy" needed to lift the roof off Placemakers alone...

Must admit the aussies are unbiased when it comes to the weather - they have brainless himbos as well as bimbos presenting the weather. Actually, males are bimbos, females are bimbas I think, though doesn't have quite the same ring.

Hate it the way Nz presenters say MOIST when they are talking about rain - reminds me of athlete's foot and fungus growing in unwanted places for some reason . . .

And rain is not MOIST, it's fuckin WET!!!
