It is spring in Nebraska and that means.... Tornado weather!! Have you ever experienced a natural disaster, aside from the current resident of the White house?

Hurricane Carol, more fascinated than scared. The Worcester (Massachusetts) Tornado, in awe of the damage, I remember fierce thunderstorms that day in a nearby town where we lived. More recently I visited Christchurch, New Zealand, a city destroyed.

April 3 tornado in southern Indiana in 1974. Shit I just put two and two together; we moved to Florida that summer LOL

Of course, I live on the east coast of Florida so hurricanes abound. The last 2 years near miss cat 5 canes made me get hurricane shutters cuz fuck that shit of worrying about how to get plywood up on my house when my employer forces me to be at work until winds reach 40mph sustained and I work 14 miles from home.

I was in Raleigh during the tornado outbreak—same year as Joplin. An unreal number touched down in NC that day, including one I saw briefly. The sky was green. Eerie!
Then in 1987, Hurricane Hugo cane inland, to where I lived near Charlotte. Trees were just twisted, uprooted, thrown. Had one on our house. The tornado was scary, but the hurricane lasted for hours, then 14 days with no power, and the clean up took months.

Hurricanes and tornadoes...up close.

I was in Okinawa in 1977ish, and woke up one night experiencing my first earthquake. Years later in St. Louis in the 20th story of a building at a Beni Hana noticed my wine sloshing in my glass. The New Madrid fault was shaking. Later in the Tacoma area I saw the library books shifting on shelves in a library. I was playing Bridge with a group that included senior citizens and I was wondering how we were going to be able to get them out of there with all those books. No biggie, just a rumble. I lived through typhoons on Okinawa, and OMG so many tornadoes and blizzards in the Mid West. My house in Overland Park Kansas was hit by lightning in 1999. That was a shocker in so many ways. I lived on the East coast for a while and we'd watch the hurricanes playing around, though none ever hit where we were.
