Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I should be in a doorway or under something
Actually under things is not a great idea. It's best to be on the floor right next to something like a bed or a sofa. That's where safety pockets tend to be in a collapse. Things fall and form a triangle of safety next to large solid objects. Things like tables may stand, but if you are under them and they collapse you are done for.
Yes, yes, I know. I was short-handing. You taught me to get next to the bed, which I would have if I'd been thinking more clearly.
I've lived in KS most of my life and tornadoes should scare me but they don't. Give me access to a basement and I'm fine. Earthquakes, OTOH, I'm guessing would take me weeks to recover my nerves.
Oh, yeah, Austin, ITA.
I've lived in MO always, and the only time I ever even get halfway bothered if is a tornado is sighted under 5 miles away. And then I just think "Do I know where the cat carrier is? Eh, there's the pillowcase."
Exactly. Sometimes I locate my purse so I'll have my id with me...thats about it.
I am far more fearful and survival-modey about ice storms. HATE bad ice storms.
Ice storms are bad too. Especially for the trees and power lines. Yikes.
I've joined the buffistas group on facebook. Now I'm going through with invites so if you get one from a strange name in Kansas, that's me.
Nilly rules the facebook pages! Your profile page has so many fun games. I could play there for hours.
Whereabouts in Kansas?
Ha! We had tornadoes in Michigan (not as bad as some places, but still...). I'll take earthquakes, thanks.
Yep. We have seasons, there's fire season, and earthquake season, and then mudslide season. I don't know why people think we don't have seasons.
