It's rare, but it can happen.
Right. Piano. Because that's what we used to kill that big demon that one time. No, wait. That was a rocket launcher.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Do they require some open space?
I know one ripped through Detroit while I was living there, and everyone freaked out because that wasn't supposed to happen in a city. Didn't seem to have started out in the flatlands either. It was at, like, 7 mile and Lodge.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Usually the tornados are afraid of giant lizards (especially Gamera), which are more likely to be found in major metropolitan areas.

Re tornados and cities
We have tornadoes here, but I thought we never had earthquakes in Rochester, but I experienced one!

Man, Feingold just gets better and better. From this weekend:
“As I said at the Kenosha County listening session, gay and lesbian couples should be able to marry and have access to the same rights, privileges and benefits that straight couples currently enjoy,” Feingold added. “Denying people this basic American right is the kind of discrimination that has no place in our laws, especially in a progressive state like Wisconsin. The time has come to end this discrimination and the politics of divisiveness that has become part of this issue.”
Feingold noted that removing the prohibition against gay marriage would not impose any obligation on religious groups. He indicated that no religious faith should ever be forced to conduct or recognize any marriage, but that civil laws on marriage should reflect the principle of equal rights under the law.

Heh, I was thinking of BUCKAROO BANZAI when I made the joke, but, hey, it always doubles as a little good LOT 49 humor.
Aw, crud, it is only me who likes Pynchon jokes.
I keep trying to come up with a set of key strokes that emulates the trumpet, but the best I've been able to do is (and it looks like html doesn't like one of the characters):
But where's the mute?

Always Anti-fascist!
I never thought of Wisconsin as being progressive although that's in its history. But so is McCarthy. Go, Feingold, though.

Why grenades make poor paperweights:
Part of a teacher's hand was blown off when a 40 mm round the instructor used as a paperweight on his desk exploded in his classroom.
Robert Colla struck the round with an object Monday afternoon while teaching 20 to 25 students at the Ventura Adult Education Center on Valentine Road.
Part of Colla's right hand was severed and he suffered severe burns and minor shrapnel wounds to his forearms and torso, fire Capt. Tom Weinell said. No one else was injured.
