HAHAH, can't believe I missed this. Hate to resurrect an old thread but wow, and I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU MISSED IT, LOOPZ. But with the global climate out of whack I bet you'll get your chance. Either that just go to the U.S. again in the summer. Actually, it's been quiet here for tornadoes this year. Disappointing. :( The U.K. is taking them all.

Hahah, I do, I do I remember I could taunt you with "oh my god, we just had a tornado down the street". :D Yeah, I hope you get to see one, especially one out in a field. When they're in cities like that it's kind of too much since you have a lot of crap flying around at you. I remember you told me one time you tried to see one from a roof, yeah? :D

Yeah kinda of :) I was looking out for one purely because everything was looking right in the sky. I had a lot of people taking the piss out of me because of it but about 20 minutes later one hit South Birmingham. I was just North Birmingham at the time...

haha
