Never had to flee in advance of a dangerous storm, but when dates like 3 May 1999 start getting mentioned, it might be better to find a more... challenging terrain. /me flees to Fayetteville. They're predicting baseball sized hail in this area. D:

(For those not in the know, here's the big one from that date: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1999_Bridg ... re_tornado
-- maximum wind speeds of around 321 miles (517km) per hour).

Heh. We don't have any tornados, tsunamis, hurricanes, earthquakes, floods or any of that kind in Sweden.

At all.

The weather is afraid it will freeze to death, or get murdered by a viking.


I am in a similiar predicament, except i have a basement, and so i shall stay
