Where are you keeping the flying cows?

next to the BBQ for easy grilling.

Perfect, as long as they're tied down.

Flying cows are just in the movies, like wizard of Oz flying houses. Lots of livestock die in tornadoes, mostly from debris hits.

to someone like me who's never seen a tornado, the Wizard of Oz might as well be real ;)

Hey, that’s MY cow!!! :mad:

My grandparents on both side of the family all lived over 70 years in Oklahoma. Only one of them ever saw a tornado, and it was off in the distance, while they were in Texas. None of them ever had tornado damage. My mom never saw one, and dad saw one in Florida.

I have seen just three, and two of them were at the same time. They were side by side, and just messing up a wheat field, and likely F1 or F0. One was close to my house, and I have a photo from a frame of video the guy across the street shot, of my house and the tornado looks like it is in my back yard, but it was actually 1.5 miles south. I watched it form from a cloud that looked like an upside down Bundt cake pan. The tornado dropped down just a couple of miles south west of us. I listened carefully and could not hear any sound from it at that distance. It went south of us, and tore up the roof of one house, and tossed some cars around in a parking lot of Frontier City amusement park.

I really wish I had taken the photo of my wife. She was sitting in the bathtub, with my autocross helmet on, with her purse and the two dogs in her lap. It was obvious to me it was not really a threat to us unless it took a sharp turn to the north, and it just went east.

There was one that hit two miles north once. It was wrapped in rain. Half the neighborhood was outside looking for it. The local TV helicopters were over us shooting it for TV. We usually have lots of warning for any real threat. It is possible for the little F0 tornadoes to pop up, (or down) and hit a house or two, and then fade away. The tear up siding and mess up the trees, but rarely do any significant damage except to mobile homes.

well that was fun. the power didn't blink but the internet and network just went off.

It looks really clean from the dozen pictures I've seen. He's gonna send more pictures after the 27th.

It's an overall nice looking US market truck that's been converted from gas and automatic to diesel and manual, complete with roof rack and rear door.

You can keep your reality to yourself mister. I'm from California and have formed a idea that you've got tornados on every street corner and cows caught in the high tension power lines. I saw it on the news ;)

In return, you can expect the ground to open up and swallow us Californians in the big one any minute now.

Deal.

YEA BUT.... what about the mud slides, fires storms, and traffic jams! :p:D

We had a tornado near her back in 1998 and there were flying cows. They were airborne 1/4 to 1/2 mile. Poor things.

In Barneveld they lost the whole town but the water tower was still standing. The wicked witch of the west must have been there because there were women's panty hose sticking out from underneath the water tower.

OK, you win. This place sux.


But ................
it's 70 degrees outside so it's a comfortable sux. :D

I know I know but it's all I got.

Watched a documentary a week or two back about one of the worst tornado days in history, IIRC it was back in the 70's.
Devastation from tejas to Ohio. Hundreds of the darn things.
It was unbelievable.

Yeah, it’s horrible here. Everyone...for your own good...stay away!

I sure hope yer holding on tight.

Jim did you sail to Australia?

The biggest, (widest ever) tornado hit not all that far from me. 2.6 miles wide!

https://earthsky.org/earth/el-reno-tornado-on-may-31-now-widest-ever-recorded-in-u-s

At times it was moving across the ground at 120 MPH. It killed a few professional meteorologists and tornado hunters.

The highest recorded wind on the planet ever 301 mph winds in a tornado that struck near Moore, Okla. on May 3, 1999. To measure it, they had to calculate from radar speeds. Since no "recording" was done they usually don't count it as the fastest wind. But 301 is faster than anything else wind wise every.

So we are number one!

Both Moore and El Reno are suburbs of OKC, and the borders of the cities touch and it is hard to know when you go from one cit to the next.

you can keep those big ones.

You're a giver :)

AFAIC they can keep em all.
