Yeah, the tornado early warning system is helpful. I think that is why the death toll was so minor. People were smart about finding safe places. Plus school has a short Mardi Gras break, so luckily there were few students on campus.
That's good man, living in OK I understand how fast they can come through a town. Did you actually see the twister? Or take video like many did

Yeah you know what it is like. You live in Tornado Alley whereas I live in Tornado Alley Jr. I did not see the twister myself and I have no video, but there are a bunch of videos on the internet.

Palazzo, in many ways, is a giant douche.

Glad your good. Mardi Gras has saved many college students lives throughout the years.

He also pushed for aid after Katrina. You can't have it both ways.

First and foremost, glad you are okay.
Second (and I say this in jest) - Why do people live in an alley for Tornados (senior or junior)? I mean, it's a well known natural phenomenon. Who says to themselves "Hey, I know, I will go live in a place called Tornado Alley - I bet nothing bad happens there!!"
It's kinda like the old Eddie Murphy routine about living in a haunted house:
Parent: "What a nice home. It is in a beautiful neighborhood with good schools, nice people ..."
Disembodied Voice: "GET OUT!!!"
Parent: "... to bad we gots to go."
Again, I kid. Hopefully, normalcy will return soon and the damage can be mended.

Well I was born on the Gulf where massive hurricanes( Katrina) can happen. One reason is the cost of living is very good in Oklahoma especially Oklahoma city so it's just one of the risks you take. I've lived Here since 2000 and I've probably only been really worried 3 times about one hitting us. We usually get a tornado that does damage in the metro area maybe once every 3 years or even more so it's really not too horrible. Now northern Oklahoma and Kansas has them much more.

Joe, I know you were being playful, but to answer your question:
I live here because:
1) I enjoy regularly wearing shorts and t-shirts in January
2) Work. There are not many positions like mine in the entire country, so it is not easy to just move somewhere else. And I have created some new programs here which I would like to nurture.
