    Dixie Alley, been around quite a few. Had a big one pass over and then touch down a quarter mile from the house once. You could feel the roof lifting. It’s so fucken loud.

    If we really wanted to reduced damage from tornadoes, we would build decoy trailer parks with lots of telephone poles all over. House trailers are a tornado’s natural prey.

      Yeah… that sounds (hah) just completely terrifying.

      I’ve been in a few very high high speed, sustained windstorms, over in the PNW, but nothing approaching an actual tornado.

      I’md glad you find the metaphor apt!

      As to decoy trailer parks… lol.

      That would at least be a better usage of FEMA funds than concentration camps for farmer / field workers…
