The news is all over this. Heh I guess I am too used to this type of weather. Now all we need is the sun to come out and it get HOT!

WOWOWOWOW

i took my bike at work today, i fucking saw it on the thruway. Holy shit…

not watching the weather report before work > me

20 minute ride home felt like two hours, and scary as fuck

Get out… Like the twister itself?

pic of Tornado on Channel 2 news NOW

It hit the galleria pretty good, or so I heard from my boss.

damn… i was supposed to go there after work…

wonder if that is still the plan

yeah I heard this, friend of mine called me and told me. Sucks to be in cheektovegas I guess.

too bad it didn’t destroy the galleria, on a saturday afternoon.

:tdown:

funny cuz I was thinking the exact same thing ^

buffalo has to be the only city to get blizzards, sub-zero temps, heat waves, and tornadoes.
