Tornados -- GTKY

ttuprincess · May 2013

I'm in Oklahoma hunkered down to ride out the storms. The weather here so far has been crazy. They are saying the Moore tornado was an EF4. My office closed at 4 pm and the roads were packed with people trying to get home. Hope everyone is safe.

Trying to pass the time as I keep an eye on the storms moving our wat so, how about a little GTKY?

1. Have you ever been in a big weather event? Tornado? Hurricane? Earthquake?

2. Do you have any pets? What kind? How old?

3. If you could live anywhere in the world where would you live?

1. Have you ever been in a big weather event? I've been through a monsoon in South Korea, Multiple tornado scares in OH, tons of blizzards in MA, and hurricanes in NC. We even had a tornado in MA a year or two ago. I think the only things I haven't been through is an earthquake, volcano, and tsunami.

2. Do you have any pets? We have two cats and a dog, cats are 7y/o and dog is a 13 y/o cattledog/german shepherd mix!

3. If you could live anywhere in the world where would you live? Lanzarote, Canary Islands.

ETA: OP, stay safe! Prayers with you.

Hope things stay quiet and safe where you are!

Does a blizzard count? I have also experienced small earthquakes a few times (like the kind where you are like hmm, I think the ground moved. I bet that was an earthquake).

2. Do you have any pets? What kind? How old?

5 y/o Welsh Corgi (see siggy pics)

3. If you could live anywhere in the world where would you live?

Wherever it stays 70-75 degrees without humidity year round

1) Yes, I've been in an earthquake (5.7 on the scale they use) and have gone through tornado warnings (although I went back to sleep on my bed by my window)

2) 2 dogs - Riz is 2.5 years old and is a Doberman-lab-basenji mix (see pic in siggie) and Lola is a 6 month old puppy that I think is a chocolate lab-pit mix with something else in her

3) I'd live back in the Pacific NW, where I'm from...

1. I've been in/near several tornados. When I was a kid I was so paranoid about tornados that everytime the watch would come on tv I would take my prepacked emergency backup and pitch a tent in the basement of our unfinished house.

2. We have two cats, both girls and longhaired. One is 6 and the other 3.

3. Ireland, specifically county Clare

Thoughts and Prayers to you and all of OK, my grandparents live in Shawnee so I was really worried until I got word they were ok, and thankful they have a storm cellar.

1) Where I'm at in Texas we are more prone to hurricanes, a few years ago with hurricane Ike my office got hit with a tornado.

2) I am a proud mother to 2 dogs and 2 cats, my old man is a 9yo red heeler mix and my wild child is a 6yo corgi, we have a 7yo cat that is the queen of the house (she loves my husband and hates me) and our 3yo cat is a princess that loves to cuddle

3) I would probably live somewhere that I can see snow in the winter.

1. Have you ever been in a big weather event? Tornado? Hurricane? Earthquake? I don't think their that bad, but blizards, ice storms, & Nor'Easter snow storms every year. This past October DH and I were in Jamaica when Hurricane Sandy hit the island. Then we past her on the flight home and got hit by her here in NH. And some very small earthquakes that I didn't ever feel.

2. Do you have any pets? What kind? How old? 2 dogs. Rottwieler almost 3 y/o and a 3 legged pit bull we dont know how old he is but weve had him for 3 years

3. If you could live anywhere in the world where would you live? I love New England. I like to visit other places but NH is my home and I wouldn't live anywhere else.

Please stay safe!!! That's always so scary to me.
I've been through tornados in GA and my home suffered damage in Hurricane Sandy...

I have 1 dog, she's a spanial and she is 6

I'd live in the north, like maine or alaska, I LOVE LOVE LOVE snow

ttuprincess · May 2013

All is well here. The last major cell just passed over us. We are still safe and sound.

1. I lived near Corpus Christi when I was a kid and went through a hurricane. And I have lived in Oklahoma for about 10 years now so we have seen lots of tornados.

2. I have a 6 year old basset hound named Flash and a 4 year old french bulldog names Lola.

3. I would want to live in Arizona or somewhere that has dry weather!

Glad they are ok! Shawnee had some pretty crazy tornados last night.

My parents live in Owasso (north of Tulsa) and my cousin's live in Yukon and Edmond OK (north of OKC) so I'm very watchful of what's going on, and in touch either by phone or on facebook with how everyone is. Stay safe!

1. I've not been in earthquake or hurricane - and only on the perifiery of tornados...but my town has had major flooding a few times. Once I had to get out of where we were by walking through knee high water at 5:30am. Not fun!

2. No pets. I grew up a dog person though and miss my pooches RIP. My parents dog is kind of like my step sister She barks into the phone at me whenever my parents pass the phone and says she doesn't do that with anyone else. Weird. We hope (plan) when I'm a SAHM with a toddler to get a dog so I have more at home time to train it. I had a puppy when I was working 10 hour days and it just wasn't fair to the dog, and I ended up giving him back to humane society after three very hard months trying to find solutions as a single sale woman and I just don't want to go through that again unless I'm home and in it for the long haul.

3. If I could live anywhere?? I love living here, but I guess my second choice would be the most beautiful spot in America - western shore of Lake Tahoe. The snow cap mountains, big sky, and clear blue lake? Breathtaking. Loved that we just got to visit again earlier this month.

2. Do you have any pets? What kind? How old?

I have a 3 year old boxer/mastiff mix name Leonidas. I love him.

3. If you could live anywhere in the world where would you live?

I love seasons so anywhere that can give me all four seasons.

1. Have you ever been in a big weather event? Hurricane Sandy... we lost power in our home for 10 days, and schools were closed for over a week.

gsancho · May 2013

Be safe!! So sad watching the coverage...

1. Been through a hurricane and 2 tornadoes, but luckily, none have ever been major - just enough to rattle you a bit.

2. Two entertaining cats, 3 and 4 years old

3. Hard to say...maybe Spain

1. Have you ever been in a big weather event? Tornado? Hurricane? Earthquake?

a couple years ago a tornado (EF 1) hit at the end of my street (maybe a mile away?). We didn't have any damage at our house. Maybe 5 years ago we had a small earthquake. It was enough to wake me up (it was at 4:30 in the morning), but not enough to do any damage.

2. Do you have any pets? What kind? How old?

We have a dog (shepherd mix) who is 4.5 and a cat (orange and white tabby) who is almost 3.

3. If you could live anywhere in the world where would you live?

I like living where I am now (Illinois suburb of St. Louis).

herecomesthesun · May 2013

1. I moved here just after Hurricane Ike. I'm sure it's only a matter of time before it happens again, though I'm not looking forward to it.

2. 1 cat. He's 8. I'm not a cat person but he's a rescue and is truly a great cat.

3. I wouldn't mind moving back to Austin but it might be cool to run a tourist business in the Caribbean somewhere.
