I was sitting at home alone one daywhen a big storm came through like that.
Wind comming through like a Biotch. Wasnt a tornadoe but it sure sounded like one.
Thought it might be one comming. Problem is I have no basement.

That kinda thing can make you feel really REALLY small in the world

Hep me Jebus... Hep me!!!!

I guess I'm screwed. The railroad is about 1/2 mile from my house. I can either freak out everytime I hear a train or ignore it and get killed.

[AWMac]

No trains roll near I live... North of Tulsa.
But when you hear one coming you can bet yer arse it isn't good.
Seen bad ones roll just East and West of me.
One morning a storm roared thru, hard rain, hail fell, roof was shaking and it stopped, wind got quiet, ears were poppin.. I woke the wifey and dragged her outside and said look up....The black clouds were rollin before our eyes just overhead.
Pure Evil.

A couple of months after I moved in to my new house I was watching the radar feed on WFAA-2 during a stormy night. I noticed 3 then 4 then 5 windshear warnings pop up very close together directly where I live. I looked out my back door in the direction of the storm but it was too dark to make out anything. Within 3 minutes the winds kicked up A LOT. I poured a glass of my best scotch, lit a cigarette and sat back in my recliner and thought "This could get interesting". The power went out. The house started shaking and the walls were visably moving 2 -3 inches back and forth.

The wind was roaring and moaning I could hear things hitting the house. In a very short time it stopped, well not completely but the house quit shaking. I grabbed a flashlight and looked out the back door again. Stuff was everywhere! The trees were swaying more than I've ever seen a tree move. I looked toward the wellhouse but the rain wind was too strong to see. It lasted about an hour before it finally passed. The power was off the rest of the night.

In the morning I went to survey the damage. The skirting around the house was skattered thru the trees. My TV antenna looked like a horseshoe. Broken limbs and leaves covered everything and my wellhouse was gone. It weighed around 1500 lbs! I built it myself out of 1 inch steel tubing and angle iron. I found it 185 yards away. It survived, but the door was ripped off and it was tweaked pretty bad.

I still have'nt built a storm cellar. I kinda feel like Lt. Dan. Is that the best you got???

Mother Nature still rules the Earth.

1999 F5 that rolled from OKC towards Tulsa

The storms struck after rush hour, but some Oklahomans were still on the way home from work. As one of the articles reported "if you ever wondered why you should get out of the car when a tornado is approaching, you only need to look to Interstate 40 and Sooner Road - a horrific scene-rush hour transformed into an auto junk yard by the fierce winds. Dozens of cars and trucks weighing several tons - tossed like toys, leaving piles of mangled metal everywhere." Many of the injured were in cars. The tornado passed over several car dealerships during its track. Cars from the lots were lifted, flung, and piled up in heaps. Three people died because they sought shelter under an overpass girder...a dangerous but commonplace practice among motorists who mistakenly believe that it is safe there.

I've done this underpass thingy.  Better than nothing at all when your on the road.

You know, listening to this again, it doesn't sound all that unique.  You can do this to virtually any guitar solo and as long as you match up the beats, i.e. first beat, first measure to first beat, fifth measure (or however long the bar is, 12 bars, 16 bars, 8 bars, whatever) you'll get the same affects. 

[rpm]

Yeah, as long as the bars are the same legnth and the same pattern.
