Are they the cops or a TV station?

Back in my single days I was sound asleep when my entire bedroom was lit up like the sun was shining on my house. The police chopper was looking for a bad guy. I just double checked my spoon and then went and double checked all the doors to be sure they were locked.

I can tell you that the folks you don't want to see in your neighborhood are the storm chasers. When the professionals and amateur storm chasers show En masse up it is time to pay attention to the weather.

Lol, when the Weather Channel is broadcasting live from your town and the tank-like tornado interceptors roll in, it's definitely time to pay attention.

We call them the "Ghetto birds".
My first house was in a low rent neighborhood... visits from the eye in the sky were common.
I feel your pain...

Yo bro... just out to the backyard and cap a couple rounds at da man!

Then you will get a nice quiet nights sleep in the gray bar hotel.
