| Post subject: | My house is still here! |
Edit - to thoes that don't know, I live in oklahoma and I'm fine Been meaning to post this for a while Busy due to volunteering for the cleanup As you know there were quite a few tornados during Sunday-Tuesday On Sunday there was a tornado literally eight miles south of my house, over lake thunderbird (implying you guys know where it is) The whole time my family was debating weather to go to our neighbors house (their house is literally built into the ground, like a hobbit hole) the rain was heavy and it was hailing for about 40 minutes The hail was the size of oranges (I got a few, will try to post pics later) I stupidly went out and got a few, then on my way back I got pelted by one of the oranges, hurt like hail (get it hail-hell?! I'm so funny) That was Sunday Monday morning, the sun was up and everything was fine During the last hour of classes (2:01 - 3:02 tornado forms at about 2:49) The tornado sirens went off (at 2:30)and immediately we had to stop everything that we were doing (which was nothing, senior year notcaring.jpg) and sit by one of the foundation walls in the classroom Me sitting next to a bunch of friends decide to be all like "forget that I'm leaving" the moment it hits 3:02 We hear about the tornado Nope.jpg So then we get bored, end up playing peasant, ****, and threes Lights go out at about 3:20 Phoneasaflashlight.jpg Continue playing in the dark till about 3:50 They finally let us go out in the halls at 4:20 My phone is dead due to the fact I used it as a flash light Trying to use someone's phone to call parents (No car) Busses are not running due to traffic People are yelling and crying because they can't get a hold of their parents Cell phone towers are out Walking in the dark Someone yells to get to the commons (cafeteria) I get there, haven't seen light in a while Big window to the courtyard, leaves, branches, paper, and even articles of clothing are strewn about About three thousand students in there Principal with a megaphone starts calling names Names of people whose parents are there to pick you up It's about 4:30 now He's calling them one by one Thiswilltakeforever.jpg It does forget it, tries to find parents at the front of the commons I find them We leave not caring about other people Stepdad parks 6 blocks down because it's the only parking spot there We walk Looking around I see mud, dirt, paper, strewn about The school is a mess Hiremexicans.jpg I look at the street, going to the tornado line of death is full of traffic Going away, clear as day Keep walking, I see an ambulance has to drive on the other side of the road just to get somewhere Forgetthatiwanttogethome.jpg I get home about 6:00 Eat, piss, sleep Next day, comeback and volunteer the cleanup crew Imnotevenmexican.jpg So that's my story Not really something to tell the kids but w/e News coverage http://www.cnn.com/2013/05/20/us/oklaho ... velopments |

Good to hear that you're alright! I had watched all the new reports on it, and it seems that it was really devastating. Hopefully that's the last of the tornadoes for now. |

So apparently, those lovely people over at the Westboro Baptist Church made a website called godhatesoklahoma.com, which was shortly hacked by some vigilant hackitivist. Don't mess with our Internet, Westboroers. |

Well, I am a religious person myself, but it's extremists like them that give religion a bad rap. They're like that one cousin that everyone hates, and makes the rest of the family look bad. |

Or if the rot spreads to the other apples. BTW, I like living in Illinois. The only natural disasters we tend to get are blizzards in the winter. I'm grateful nothing too severe has happened yet. |
