So I live in Oklahoma, smack dab in the middle of tornado alley. We get odd weather at all times of the year. I've seen tornadoes in February, and I've seen tornadoes in November. It's really a year 'round season here.

A few minutes ago, the tornado sirens went off. What's the first thing I do? No, I didn't check the radar online. I didn't turn on the radio.

I walked outside to look!

Along with about 15 or 20 other people nearby.

It just cracked me up when I thought about it and realized what I did.

Bad ass!!

I used to do the same thing! Storm coming? Forget the cellar, I wanna see!! I was born and lived some in OK, did some storm chasing as a teen(with actual storm chasers), and loved it.

If its any consolation, I have to be drug kicking and screaming from home when the hurricanes are coming, i wanna stay and watch!

Where's that coocoo emoticon when I need it.. because you both are nucking futs!

I am pretty sure I am somewhere in between Archren's desire to hide and Rae and G-rex's desire to watch.

I would be that guy that would watch up until it was pretty obvious I was in DEEEP shit, and then I would run for my freaking life as if the tornado had just jumped out of nowhere.

Poor thing, you arent planning on moving to OK are you? If so, DONT. I cant count the number of times we got to "play" in the cellar or I got shoved under a mattress in the bathroom. Storms dont phase me. I find them strangely exhilirating. Im also the idiot thats ridden through thunderstorms and horrific high winds, partially because I was going somewhere, and mostly just because I could.

Nope, his ass is moving to Austin.

We've actually got roads that, I dunno, TURN here.

We still get the occasional tornado watch, but one actually hitting the Austin metropolitan area is pretty rare. We did have some funnel clouds sighted near my old apt complex last year, but nothing ever came of 'em.
