"If a tornado hits your vehicle, spins you around then leaves - get the gently caress out of there"

Good advice.

The world moves on a marten's lips

it looks like they went through the center of the tornado but the heaviest most of the damage is another hundred yards up the road. this video is absolutely going to convince the adrenaline junkies that their tonka trucks are sturdy enough to survive whatever a tornado throws at them.

el reno absolutely was a teachable moment but chasers are starting to dismiss it as a freak accident. only a matter of time before the next mass casualty event.

Not a lot of interior rooms to hide in in these shotgun houses, either

remember if you're currently being hunted by a feral tornado and have no basement, your second best option is to hide in a small internal room with no outside facing walls such as a bathroom or the closet you have repurposed as a hotboxing den

your best option however is to repeatedly mag dump into the tornado until it is either killed or disabled

Nola goon here. It's humid af here, but within the levee system it's fairly dry. Wood gets destroyed more by termites here than just outright rotting. The city is dirty af though and there's trash and detritus everywhere though. It termite destroyed wood and old tires and poo poo getting thrown around.

Lol I was a drunk tourist at a dive bar in Nola in 2019 talking about how much I liked how it was cleaner there than back home and these locals were like "No our city is trash, it's dirty as gently caress what are you talking about??" They were very offended at the idea of a city dirtier than theirs.

I once stepped in a shin deep puddle on bourbon street and I had to throw away the shoe because even after if was washed and dried it reeked super strongly from ten feet away. No way I was getting on an airplane wearing that shoe

I mean I once drunkenly walked down the main street of Leola, Pennsylvania, a way less glamorous destination than Bourbon Street, and ruined the new shoes I'd bought that day by walking through puddles filled with horse poo poo. My shoes could not be cleaned, I tried a lot.

Gross. I’m definitely glad pothole filling techniques have advanced since the Amish checked out of the new tech scene
