Spirit - the amazing grey dewlap toulouse gander!

I guess I'll take tornado alley. I have a solid basement, and so does almost everyone in tornado alley though. I guess I'd feel like I knew what to do to stay safe in a tornado more than I'd know with an earthquake. I mean, my house might disappear, by the safe room in the basement will probobly stay. With an earthquake, the earth could drop my whole house, and me in it, into a whole a seal it up, or catch fire, or things like that. Scary! (of course, it might be about what your raised with)

I have lived in many places that had different weather. Personally I will take an earthquake over tornado's. THe first month here in MN we had 2 tornado's every weekend and I was all alone for the first three weekends. NOT FUN!! Scared out of my witts with my parent s gone. The worst weekend they were home for thank GOD. We had damage with each one. Since then we have had very little damage . Then it was all the wildlife to content with, again as I alway's lived in town I was scared out of my witts too. Then the courgar and wolves made be learn to shoot a gun real fast. I was 19 when we moved here. Now I'm 40 and still don't like it here with the short summers and frigided winters but family is here so I will be staying. We too have earthquakes here as MN runs along a major fault line that fallows the Mississippi.

I think it probably does have a lot to do with what you grew up with. I've never been in a tornado, but they seem scarier than an earthquake to me. I've always been kind of fascinated with them, though. Probably from watching the Wizard of Oz as a kid.

It takes a truly hardcore person to live in Minnesota. I couldn't do it!

Me either, Just think how thick their blood is from living in the extremes. Mine would really need some help and anti freeze. I've lived in Hurricane area being born in Fl. and we get flooding and wild fires here and minor earth quakes but Tornados and earth quakes are terrifying to me.

Antifreeze in your blood........

Wow!! Quck, stick it in the bator and lets check fertility!!!!

 

[Iain Utah]

I am 99.999999% sure it is not fertile. Spirit hasn't started showing any signs of going into breeding mode. Besides, I'd think I'd hear a commotion in the room if there was an attempt between him and Ember.
