Tornadoes

[Donovan]

In Kansas we had warnings all the time and you learn to pay close attention to likely tornado-producing systems. You can't hide from the world but you gotta respect it. Once when I was a teen we were in my grandmother's old people apartment on the seventh floor when the weather was tornado-friendly. The news broke in saying there were reports and sightings of touchdowns in our neighborhoods so I went to look out the window and right about then this little tiny twister formed and kinda rolled through the parking lot and was shoving cars around. Not picking any thing up, it was way too small but for a second it was the coolest thing I ever saw. Then I realized the window glass was warping like crazy from the air pressure and decided getting the fuck out ta the window would be wise.

Tornado weather is eerie as hell. Animals tend to sense it so it's dead quiet, the sky is usually this ugly bruise color as the warm and cold fronts meet, like yellow and purple, and the air tastes like you're sucking a copper penny. By far the creepiest feeling of any weather issue and I've seen my share of bad storms.
