Tornados. Heh. One did some pretty heavy dmage in Fort Worth a couple years back. There's an occasional one around Dallas, lots of watches. and a plathora of severe thunderstorms. That's how it goes here in the spring/summer/fall; hot and humid or uber stormy. Then in the winter, it's just either cool or cold. Psh.
Sadly though, the soil in this area is extremely poor for basements. I believe Dallas is also placed on a fault. Or maybe that was some other place. Whatever. In my house, there really isn't a safe place at all. Reasurring.
So... tornados... Back in Oklahoma many years ago, there were 27 touchdowns, if I'm not mistaken. I was up in Northern Oklahoma where there was some pretty nasty shiznit going on. Damn scary. I was little, elementary level.
And... though not related to a tornado, I once had a loose tooth. I was wiggling it. There was a bad thunderstorm + a tornado watch outside. There was a loud lightening crash. I had a startled reflex. I ripped my loose tooth out. It hurt, and bled, and took up a little gum. Damn that hurt.
