Some years ago we had a spell of freak weather around here, one manifestation of which was a twister or whatever the things are called. Of course being British, we tend to do these sort of things very pisspotically (eg, where America has a multi-million dollar space program, we have a couple of beardy blokes in a shed); the most our twister could do was rattle a few chimney pots.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

The tornado that struck Henryville, Pekin, and Marysville, Indiana was an EF4, and was on the ground for 54 miles.

-- Samuel "Mark Twain" Clemens "I think that in the discussion of natural problems we ought to begin not with the scriptures, but with experiments, demonstrations, and observations". - Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) "In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else!

Didn't realize there were so many of us from the Bluegrass State. Fuck, why do we have such a bad reputation with such stellar representatives...lol?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

So um...yay for being somewhat north - I didn't turn on the news over the weekend but apparently 200 homes were wrecked in Charlotte and one family was carried out of their home while they were sleeping in the second story (according to my coworker).
