Don's has been pretty quiet...
I love nasty storms.I videoed hurricane Charlie from my room in the Contemporary few yr back .Last yr I was sitting out back in a storm just taking in the lighting and nasty skies but ended up having to go in cause the kids were worried about me and started to cry,cause they didn't want me to get hit by lightning.Can say I have never been in the path of a tornado,I have seen one and seen results of one but never in path of one.
I love watching lightning. When we lived in Michigan, I would just sit outside and watch the skies just light up with lightning fingers spreading out in all directions...it was AWESOME!
Thankfully I've never experienced a tornado first hand - but again, when we lived in MI, there was one heading directly for our town. The sky turned green and everything, and you could see the funnel off in the distance, but thankfully it turned north and went away. I've lived in the midwest for nearly 10 years of my life and those things can and do just ge me all freaked out like nobody's business. I lived through countless earthquakes in So. Cal and never thought anything of them... several quite large and devastating - but enjoyed those. You never know when they are coming... but tornados - uggh - it's the watching and waiting that really drives me crazy.
When I was a senior in HS, my HS was on a hillside, surrounded by other hills, with little valleys in between. Getting ready for a field trip and sitting in the school van waiting for our teacher to come out of the office so we could leave. It was early in the morning (before school) as we had a 3 hr drive to our destination. An earthquake struck, but it was so cool as we watched the hills on the other side of the valley start to sway upwards, then downwards like a cresting wave - and then watched as it rung around the hillsides to where we were, and then moved on. THAT was pretty awesome stuff.
Growing up we (my family) lost a water-heater, our backyard wall, a toilet, part of the foundation corner of the house, windows and other glassware, another small wall and a tree cam crashing down in the backyard - all in numerous, varied and different quakes (not all in the same one I mean). They can and do wreak an awful lot of damage...but I just think they're much cooler than tornados. I've slept through some and been woken up by some. We even had a very small one here in the midwest a couple of years back that did wake both DW and I up - not because it was jolting or anything, but rather - it was such a familiar feeling. Both of us just turned to each other, smiled and said - "earthquake...cool - feels like home". Most of our friends here think we're nuts - since they think nothing of tornados but are terrified of an earthquake. But hey, it's all in what you grow up with I'm convinced.
But some born & bred midwesterners "get it"... back in '96 I was working in an office building near John Wayne Airport in Orange County - actually watched planes landing often when staring out the window. My new boss at that time had just moved out from MI to take over the LA/OC region. A small quake struck rolling his chair back and forth, and he came running into my office asking if that was an earthquake. I said yes. He just grinned from ear to ear saying it was his first ever...and couldn't wait for more!
i have dw calling before she comes home from work so i can turn it off.
Dude, do you always store your Disney stuff in the van between trips? Do you not drive it anywhere but Disney? Or do you just like to haul the Disney stuff around with you whereever you go for the "pre-vacation smell"? 
That's My Boy!
