I almost always put on a rain playlist at night when I sleep, so now every time it rains I get so sleepy! This would be a problem if I still lived in Houston lol!

Yes, yes, very good, thank you! 😍

(Also, there’s a Rembrandt painting at the Frick museum in NYC that is literally Laszlo, lol! I wish they allowed pictures!)

I’m switching from Foner back to David Shi’s America A Narrative History. Still Norton, but there are some cool new things I like!

I grew up in St Louis, so he was on the rival team, lol. He is always the first Cubs player that comes to mind from my childhood! What an absolute loss for Cubs fans and baseball fans πŸ’”
(My hubs was at Chicago’s opening day game back in April this year and Ryne threw out the first pitch!)

Ok, having been in both, it is definitely different! You are spot on with the hurricane! A tornado is more, idk, musty? More like soil? I don’t know exactly how to describe it, lol.

Well, the science may be shit, not as good as the original but #twisters is a fun movie, great soundtrack! #hatm

Did anyone ever go to the Twister β€œride” at Universal Studios? I still can’t get over that they got the smell of a tornado right #hatm

No basements in OK, it’s the soil too. But small in-ground shelters. Usually in the floor of the garage #hatm

It has to do with the soil, I think. But in-ground shelters are almost a necessity now. My parents finally had one installed in their garage after the last EF4

Really? I mean I assumed they were most everywhere (we didn’t have any when I lived in Las Vegas, but we never had crazy weather there, just hot lol)

Nope, none. And rarely storm chasers either, everything is radar indicated. #hatm

Especially after the recent floods here in Central Texas, I hate this idea that cloud seeding can actually have this much effect on the weather #hatm

Ive lived in Texas for 12 years, and I’m still not used to the fact that we don’t have tornado sirens. (I’m sure they do in North Texas but not central or south) #hatm
