Hello, Tornado

Posted by DesertFox on Sept. 9, 2010, 1:16 a.m.

So, I was doing some work up in Dallas helping my father with some office stuff, moving and putting together furniture, etc. Then this happened.

There was a tornado in Dallas today. Guess where I was today? Dallas! Lets get a bit more specific, shall we? Where in Dallas did the tornado hit? Mockingbird Lane! Guess where I was? Mockingbird Lane! Guess what time it hit? 7 PM. Guess where I was at 7 PM? Getting something to eat at a fast-food restaurant on Mockingbird Lane!

To make a long story short, I got to see a tornado rip through Dallas, while waiting at the drive-through at Jack-in-the-Box! It knocked down a bunch of powerlines and stuff, caused a bunch of damage to buildings, and I think it did damage to the bridge as well, because there were more police and fire/rescue vehicles in one place than I'd ever seen, setting up a massive detour.

So yeah, my day was exciting. How was yours?

But I'm in such a sarcastic mood.

He didn't mention any injury, but he also didn't say much about the food he got. So I assume DF is okay, but won't say anything for the drive-through attendant.

Also, yay tornado. One hit about 10 miles away from me this year, and I saw some funnel clouds a month or so ago, but I've never seen one that close before. :( (nor do I want to if it's close to home D:)

You guys are all against me >_>

@Ferret I think that DesertFox would have mentioned it if he got injured. Unless he did type all this with his tongue that is.

In other news, I got an unexpected, absolutely massive ear piercing yesterday! Nah, I'm okay, I was just tired last night and went to sleep pretty much immediately after posting this blog.

I don't believe we've had a photo of you for quite some time.

Also, tornadoes are fun. I've never been in one though. I've been in tornado weather with the hail and the wind and the scary-as-hell constant lightning and the unplugging and the opening doors and the watching.

But it's a dream I've yet to fulfill. And if I die during my dream, that'll be the crappiest goal I've ever had.

Surprising all the crap that came from that tropical storm. At least we finally got rain.

Being in a tornado isn't much around where I'm from. I've been really close to 3.
