Tornado Hunter



Hahaha! I just had to share this XKCD comic with you guys.

I haven't seen a tornado since I migrated here from the Midwest, and to tell you the truth I sort of miss the excitement - though not the damage - they bring. I think almost every Kansan kid at some point dreams of being a storm chaser.

But although we don't see them too often around the Pacific Northwest, tornadoes can in fact occur here. Since y'all homegrown Oregonians (<-- see my Kansas drawl coming out there?) might not be up to speed on tornado procedures, we put together a special page dedicated to them at www.oregonredcross.org/tornadoes. Read up!

P.S. I'm told that Twister has been the most popular film so far at the Tin Shed's Disaster Movie Mondays. And speaking of... don't miss next Monday's showing of Dante's Peak. It's sure to be a blast. (Hehe.)

HA! That comic is HILARIOUS! Here in Utah, we don't typically get tornadoes either, but we did about ten years ago. Stranger things have happened, right?
