We are supposed to get "straight line winds" today, instead of tornadoes. The straight line winds always cause more havoc than simple tornadoes, because they are not short lived and just keep blowing. |
Of course you can use it!
I adore storms, even after having been flooded out once. Granted, I also enjoy meteorology and have played a fantasy forecaster game before. My partner and our cat both hate thunderstorms and prefer to cower under the blankets when one blows up. I, on the other hand, prefer to sit in our dark living room with the patio curtains open and my booklit Nook. I think its a throwback from growing up in the sticks where any tiny bit of rain would send the power out for days (the record was 3 weeks during Hurricane Fran). I would read by candlelight as a kid and teenager then and i never grew out of it.
