And it's very flat... which has it's own beauty but... The weather changes drastically all the time there but the wind NEVER stops sweeping down down the plains. I was there 8 years and although there were tornado warning all the time in the summer I never saw one. The thing I miss most is the thunder storms. They were great!! _____________________

she did say the skies were the most fabulous ones she's ever experienced. she lived on base, and i don't recall her mentioning the terrain.... perhaps because there was none. LOL
edit: OH! and the thing about wierd winds was that they changed directions constantly.... like swirly. from one hour to the next she never knew which way the wind would blow. literally. _____________________

I remember driving through Kansas years ago and a huge storm rolled in. It was a sight to see it move, thanks to the flat open spaces. You could actually see the lightning bolts strike the ground, with fiery red explosions. _____________________

You could actually see the lightning bolts strile the ground, with fiery red explosions.  we just get mudslides, avalanches, forest fires and earthquakes here. much safer. _____________________

It has terrain... just think of "The Far Away" stretching 4 or 5 hundred miles.  _____________________

In fact the Air Force accidently started one a couple of years back during training, the same year they accidently shot up a school, Luckily it wasn't occupied at the time. We get a small earthquake occasionally, although it is said New York is overdue for The Big One. _____________________

Yeah! First the sky turns green, then the insects all start chirping in unison, really loudly, then Thor goes crazy and water pours down. And it's still warm enough to sit on your porch in your shorts to watch it. ... Yeah I do miss that.And then everything goes deathly quite... just before the tornado hits. _____________________

They took out the public pool (huddled in a changing room), the elementary school (huddled in the high school), my neighbor's house (huddled in my own), and the biggest grocer in town. (ok...I was home 7 miles away I still count it!).And there is one giant reason I don't like Kansas.... The Jayhawks!! (Sorry Kaimi! ) |

*sigh* I guess I'd better go read what's gone up since yesterday. Could you post the link again, please? http://www.sluniverse.com/php/vb/general-sl-discussion/18456-translate-my-insults.html The telenovella doesn't come up until post 35, but the motivation - aside from Trout's cold medicine - for it is outlined prior to that. _____________________
~Now Trout Re-Re-Re-Certified!~
I am bumping you to an 8.5 on the Official Trout Measuring Instrument of Sluttiness. You are an enigma - on the one hand a sweet, gentle, intelligent woman who we would like to wrap up in our arms and protect, and on the other, a temptress to whom we would like to do all sorts of unmentionable things. Congratulations and shame on you! You are a bit of a slut. |

The fall colors are beautiful - here in Florida we have green, not so green, grey then green- really exciting... There's the price you pay for living in the south. Here in Texas we get some brown mixed in with the grey of winter, and some brown with our summer not so green if it doesn't rain. _____________________

I have fortunately missed the glories of Tsunamis and Tornados...
I have been thru several hurricanes, including Andrew; a firestorm that roared down an expanse of highway and across canals, all the while driving as fast as possible in the opposite direction as some part of the Everglades burned one year and a major earthquake in Mexico City... pretty much got the natural disasters thing out of the way... _____________________
