Nature: Consider this a warning, FUCK YOU.

Me: Awe, c’mon nature! You know I love y...

Nature: I SAID FUCK YOU!!

Yes, that pink area is a Tornado Warning, yes, that pink area is pointed towards me, yes, the neighborhood three miles to the south was just specifically mentioned by the meteorologist on the news and that their residents should take this system “extremely seriously”.

So I’m a moron. Decided to go ahead and drive to work. Wife called me halfway and said there was a tornado touchdown near me. I immediately pulled into the Sugar Land Regional Airport (a damn nice place with a lot of damn nice private jets), parked under the overhang at the front of their little public terminal, and ran inside. Their power went out 10 seconds later, generators kicked in, and the wind kicked into “HOLY SHIT” mode. That lasted for about ten minutes.

Bonus: The airport has a Starbucks. Cinnamon Dolce soothed my ego.

We should be good. Just waiting the weather out until it’s okay to leave for work.

Nature’s a bitch, though.

Too busy over the weekend to do Valentine’s Day, or just wanted to plan the big finale for today?

Pretty much man. We had an EF-3 go through my city a few weeks ago.

Apparently, she didn’t like the way I looked at her sister this past weekend.

I guess that backfired on her, huh? Like the sky writing Slim Jim commercial.

Totino’s pizza rolls, Netflix on your phone, and a tornado shelter sounds like a plan to me.

Be safe.

Haha. Nah, that’s just a playful jab. Nature’s been getting tired of our shit for a loooong time and the REAL fuck you will be one for the ages.

Yeah, the schools around us are in shelter-in-place mode. Should be a “fun” morning.
