So this has been the story of my internet connection since sometime last night.

Me: *connect to internet?*
Internet: *connects!*
Me: Whoo!
Internet: *disconnects itself <3*
Me: D:< *connect to internet*
Internet: lol no
Me: D:

Rinse and repeat about once every five hours. I really need an air card from a better company than Verizon.

Also, this: WHY WOULD YOU EVER.

That whole day with the tornado clouds (there were actual tornado touchdowns in some areas around here, but nowhere really near us) was pretty crazy. I have a whole writeup about it in my paper journal; I've actually been considering transferring it to LJ because it's a pretty wild story. :P

For months afterward (both times) my mom would start to get worried anytime it rained at all. DX I'd say for us the most horrible part was getting flooded in for a few days, but.

Please write it up if you get the chance!  Sounds like a real adventure, especially with the tornadoes.  When I lived in Ohio, an F2 tornado struck the north part of the city I was in.  I was on the very southern part, so I was missed, but the sky looked really ominous that evening.  That was the only time we had a tornado incident in our area in ten years -- and it was in November.

I don't mess around with tornadoes; they honestly scare me, but I enjoy looking at and reading about them without a problem.

Can't blame your mom!  Who knew when the next flood would be?  Heck, I'm paranoid about power outages now.  :\  Since the tornadoes missed you, I'd say the flooding was the worst part, too, because it actually happened.

I probably will type it up later today, then! 8D

I don't blame you; tornadoes are freaky. We've always had to worry more about hurricanes in the places I've lived.

Hooray!  I look forward to it!  8D

They are freaky.  Freaky and violent and terrifying.  And as nice as it would be to live near the ocean, the threat of hurricanes keeps me away.

I don't think I'd ever want to live right at the shore because I'd be worried about tsunamis. XD Which is irrational because they're much, much more rare, but still. DX

I don't fault you at all!  Tsunamis, hurricanes... as rare as they may be, the fact that they can happen is enough of a deterrent for me.  I don't think it's irrational.  Living right at the shore means eventual erosion, tsunamis and hurricanes or not.
