Weather of DOOM
The hubby comes home yesterday and lets me know that we're under a tornado watch. Gee, big surprise that I get a little tense about this. Now a tornado watch only means that the conditions appropriate to forming a tornado are happening, not that a tornado has actually happened or anything - hardly something to get alarmed about, now is it?
The stupid Weather Channel needs to be punished. Somehow they've decided that they need to be a weather oriented entertainment source instead of actually showing me what the fucking weather looks like right now. See, they have this Local on the 8's thing that shows you a map with the last 3 hours of radar weather on it, only if they're showing one of their amazing entertainment programs, the locals are entirely optional. They're always playing one of these fucking shows when there is death weather going on.
Cut to this morning, when the hubby wakes me up on the phone to let me know that Clovis was hit by a tornado. Yeah, that's a little bit close to home. We're going into Clovis today (the part nowhere near the destruction) to do some last minute shopping before I plane out to Cali, so knowing that the smiting funnel of doom was that close is just a tad unnerving. The wet weather is nice and all, but I don't think our crop is going to net us much if it's been sucked away to Oz.
