Fraking Weather and Fraking Weather “Reporters”

Posted by Mark | Filed under Life

The one thing I don’t like about my house would have to be the weather we seem to get around it.  In the 10–12 years I lived in that stu­pid apart­ment in Coralville, IA, I only remem­ber going for shel­ter from tor­nado warn­ings maybe 4 or 5 times.  I think we’ve done that many so far this spring alone.  In the house, we hun­ker down in our base­ment in the sauna.  Unfor­tu­nately the door to the sauna doesn’t close prop­erly so I have to hold it shut.  At the moment I’m doing so by wrap­ping a belt around the door han­dle and around my leg.  It sucks.

What sucks worse is while I’m doing it, the weather “reporter” announces that there is no warn­ing for my city but there is for my county and doesn’t clar­ify WTF she’s talk­ing about.  Never mind I’ve been exhausted all week­end from sinus issues and would love to be asleep in bed, nope.  I’m stuck in a sauna in a base­ment dur­ing a tor­nado warn­ing with an idiot broad­cast­ing non­sense.  *sigh*

On the bright side, the sauna is small and my lovely wife is with me.  Now if we actu­ally get a proper latch on the door so I don’t have to hold it shut next time this could be kind of cosy.  *grin*

Side note: We brought the cat down with us as well and he’s get­ting pet­ted by the wife at the moment.  I mostly know this because he’s twitch­ing his tail in bliss and smack­ing my arm with the tail.
