Tornado Chasing....

[Meatbot]

I live just a bit south of OKC in what they/we call "Tornado Alley", an apt description. The last four storms have all damaged my house, and the last one bought me a new roof. I got over my fear of the storms years ago, and usually stand out on the porch and watch the excitement, although a flying wheelbarrow did almost nail my ass last time.

As far as I'm concerned Oklahoma should be 70k square miles of uninhabited wilderness. Why we still live here is beyond me. It's freezing cold in winter and burning hot in summer, and every spring the goddam twisters blow us away. Crazy. As soon as my parents are gone, I'm outta here, like panties on prom night. Stupid State.

Hilarious description, 'bot!
And I find it funny that some of my friends have family in Oklahoma who will NEVER, EVER visit California because there might be an earthquake, eventually, sometime, maybe.  Yet they put up with the Spring Twisters every year!  Go figure!

I'm sure they're both turning in their graves: MY parents got the fuck OUT of Oklahoma City for pretty much the same reasons you described.  If there's life after death, I'm sure they're both shaking their heads wondering what the hell went dead wrong with their eldest son.  Boy don't have the sense to git in out of the rain...  We were under watch earlier today, but the warnings were all N and S of Dallas.  Yeah, gotta love SPRINGTIME!

Simple Question:
"If your house has been wiped out by not one tornado, but several (over time).
why do you still live there"?....Interestingly enough why would an insurance company keep insuring you (over and over and over again)....at some point the light bulb over your head should come on. Unless of course you "like" living without a roof and or a neighborhood.

Love,

Good question... I can't answer it... Like I said, though, when my parents are gone, I'm outta here...

Actually, in the 26 years I've lived here, I've only ever filed one insurance claim... most of the time I just fix it and go on... only once has it been really bad enough to file. Plus, I needed a new roof anyway, it actually helped me out.

I have no love for this god-forsaken state, in any case.
