HAHA, I was right! Its that crappy modern art junk.




Twister was filmed here in good ol OK. There is an empty field near downtown Guthrie where they filmed the scene where the tornado comes through the town and they hide in the garage. We do hold the record I think on tornado strength, the May 3 '99 tornado actually surpassed the F5 wind limits making it the first F6 even though there isn't an F6.

Actually, I've spent a few late nights in Las Vegas and all of the buildings started looking like that to me. Glad all those activites stays there like the TV commercials say.

I didn't think the F5 category had a max. So, when the buildings actually do start to fall, they'll never know, because it'll look the same. How retarded.

I knew someone, actually rented their flat for a while. They had a tree fall onto their car...no I'm not talking about branches - I'm talking about a huge ass tree which fell onto it. Can't remember the base diameter of the tree. But it crushed the whole middle part of the car (front and back seats). Total write off.

The miracle about this whole story is, they were on their way to the car - Him, his wife and their two kids. Ready to get in, I think they were called back inside by their friends to come and see something (if I remember it correctly). They went back inside and then just heard a bang - the tree just fell over and smashed the car to pieces. There is no way they would have survived if they were in that car.
