Is that a tornado or a camel moaning in slow motion?

Driving through Kansas yesterday, Will and I pointed out
houses where Aunt Em might live, or the barn where the
people in Twister might've hid when the tornados hit.

I've always wanted to see a tornado, or maybe chase one,
or perhaps get sucked into one, with the cows and the trucks
and the babies.

Today, it's becoming a reality! We arrived at a Flying J truck
stop in Tulsa, Oklahoma, last night, hoping to grab a shower
and get back on our way. And we're still here, along with all the
truckers also planning on heading south.

The national weather service have put out tornado warnings
for the whole of Oklahoma, with golf ball sized hail stones being
reported across the state. There've been a bunch of deaths from
tornados this last week so we figured we'd play it safe.

If the truck drivers are staying put, then so are we! It kind of
sucks though, if we weren't in our stupid RV we'd drive closer,
but a nice lady truck driver warned us we'd be sure to tip over
in the 80mph winds. God.

The only thing that could make this situation better is if the
tornado sucked up a hundred armadillos and rained them down
on our RV.

It's given us chance to get showered, do our laundry and plan
out our route. Which is a bonus, I guess, but I sure was looking
forward to visiting a shoe tree today!

Did you know, in Twister, they make the sound of a tornado by
slowing down a recording of a camel moaning.

FACT!
