They’ve Got it all Now!

posted in Global Concern |

When we fled the urban uncertainties following the Loma Prieta quake we hoped for a bucolic life here in the irony capital of the USA.  Pretty much we got what we hoped for, including an initial ironic face slap by ma nature.  We hadn’t been here a year when a tornado  roared through,  destroying neighbors houses, uprooting public services, generally striking fear in all our hearts… much like the ‘89 earthquake in sunny-sunny had done.

We’ve long talked about the trade-off between tectonic uncertainty and the great atmospheric disturbances here on the prairie.  That talk has been reduced to idle chit chat now that California has thunder and lightning, and yes - thanks to Ma Thatcher, Ron Raygunz, and the whole Bush family and their conscious policy of encouraging global warming to open polar regions for pertoleum extraction - now SoCal has tornadoes!
