The cold I can handle. The wind is what gets me.

Not really weather, but...

Now I want to know if that boat went over the ledge

It's the low humidity that gets me.  The older I get the more I enjoy the cold.  The wind doesn't bother me.  But when my hands start cracking and bleeding and looking like The Cryptkeeper's despite keeping them coated in a half an inch of lotion I'm done.

Some asshole posted that video from 2011. This one should be current.

If I was the guy who designed that parking garage, I'd put that in a commercial.

True. And if I was that person sitting there, I would get out of the parking garage just in case.

I've only experienced one brief and very mild earth tremor but the Lord would only have to tell me once to get the heck out of Dodge if I went through a 7.6--and I'd leave a brown streak on my way out of town.

Give me a tornado any day over an earthquake!

You have to be a special king of stupid to stand there and film during that.

[BASS]

That was me and the wife in the white van. Sorry for partying.

What else are you going to do if you're eight floors up in a ten story parking garage?

Standing there filming while waiting for the building to collapse is not it. Some people's self-preservation instincts suck.

Meh...in that situation if you are going to die, you'll just die tired if you try to get out.

Three here.  The first was in Ft. Smith.  I was sitting in a recliner in the engine bay at fire station 9, doing some studying.  All of a sudden I felt one big thump on the bottom of my chair, and at the exact same time I heard a whole flock of birds take off from the tree out back.  It was over in an instant and it took me a second to figure out what it was.

The third was not to long ago while sitting at my office desk here in Tulsa.  Same kind of deal.  It was just one big quick thump that was over almost before you could notice it.

It was the second one that was unnerving.  It happened when I had gone back to school to study E.E.  I had been awake for about 4 days straight studying and going to class.  I was sitting in a rolling chair in our home office, which has hardwood floors, bent over the desk with my head buried in a textbook.  Then I felt the house move under my chair.  Like, my chair stayed still, and I swear the house rocked a few inches underneath me.  I honestly wasn't sure if it had really happened or if it was some kind of sleep depraved hallucination.  Then I looked down at my blue heeler, who had been sleeping at my feet.  He was sitting bolt upright, eyes the size of dinner plates, and looking at me like "what the fuck was THAT?  Did you feel that?!"

It was really disconcerting and enough to know that I don't ever want to experience a real, actual earthquake.

Been through some earthquakes.  There was one as a kid as the new Madrid fault took a shit while we were headed up to a game. It might have been the shootout.  First I heard of the NM fault but we felt it when my dad stopped on the pig trail to get some smokes.

Went thru several in Memphis.  One about a 4 when I was on air in high school.  The needle just travelled across the record I was playing.  I just put it back on and everyone but me left the building.  The head engineer came in to look at the transmitter. 

Went thru several living in the Bay Area, all small.  Twister had come out and they all asked me is it like that? I couldn't live with tornadoes! Most had never seen lightning and were fearful of any weather when we travelled.

Worst was about a 4.5 in Taipei.  I was in a hotel about 50 floors up. That building was swaying like a motherfucker.

I was in a L&D suite in a hospital in Virginia, sitting on a rolling stool and charting an admission. I had just begun to scoot the stool over to another desk when I had the strangest momentary sensation that the floor was falling away from me and I actually flinched. My initial thought was that I was experiencing vertigo and was a little embarrassed but when I looked around and saw the "Oh Shit!" expressions on the nurses' faces I realized what had happened.

Found out later that the epicenter was about 90 miles away near Richmond.

I will take tired and a chance to live every time
