Forum's been slow for me since yesterday. It's loading a page forever, then just pops up. I'm only keeping up on subscribed threads until it picks back up.

Jacob, just what are you saying here? I am beginning to suspect that you may have a 5 year old brother or sister using your user name here on FTE.

We all know you haven't had a cigarette in a while, but don't take it out on poor Jacob.

No, but I caught the live news coverage of it. That was a crazy...very strange weather patterns around here lately. We've had several days of severe weather and those funnels touched down in places where we never get tornadoes.

Last night we had a few more funnels touch down in Eastern Arapahoe, which is the county that I live in, and about two weeks ago I heard a tornado siren for the first time in my life, as a few funnels had been forming in South Denver.

The weather here lately has been nuts. The Dem convention is in town, maybe someone upstairs is angry. lol

I got picked up by a dust devil one time when we were camping, I was probably 7-years-old. It threw me about 5 foot and picked up the blanket I was sitting on and took it out to the middle of the lake. It came out of nowhere too. Pretty strange.

I have never actually seen a tornado first hand. Randy is from Nebraska, a few weeks ago when I heard the tornado sirens I called him and he was all "oh you have a tornado..cool" like no big deal.

About 11:00 p.m. Eastern Time, and yes it's bothering me. But on the other hand I would really like to help him too. Is there a chance he'll graduate from high school thinking this is the proper way to put his thoughts on paper?

We were down in Castle Rock on Sunday for a football tournament. Got out of there about an hour before all that went down. Couldn't believe the pics.

Wow. I guess you get used to the weather wherever you live. I looked up tornadoes on Wikipedia..did you know that tornadoes are mostly a U.S. event? They have them on all continents, but not like here.

I get what you're saying Mark, but we've discussed all of this before. Veiled insults aren't doing anyone any good. Right? Right!
