If I hear a train sound do I keep drinking?

HaHa Good Question! I would think, yes, because You're screwed!
Or No, if you're sober enough to get to the closet (but you'd probably be there anyway, thinking it's the bathroom).

LOL! Very creative!

I love this, I think I'll print it out and make it poster size to hang on my storm shelter wall next to the liquor cabinet ! At least I'll go out happy!!

I can't take credit for this, although I'd like to. It was circulating around on Myspace when the first storms rolled in last week.

Great game to play if you are one of the people who are terrified of tornadoes. It is good to keep your mind preoccupied with something else.

I can't stop reading this and laughing, do you remember when the tornado hit the station where Gary was and they all had to run downstairs ?? LOL - forget the drinks, circumstances like that should quailfy for an intraveneous Jack Daniels drip

I don't even drink, but this is hilarious.

You forgot a few rules (I just mentally substitute Dr. Pepper for the notion of anything alcoholic, so that way all I risk is more weight :)

1. Two drink each time he says "Getner."
2. One drink each time he says "Potentially severe."
3. Four drinks for "multiple vortex tornado"
4. Eight drinks any time ANY meterologist uses the word "tornado" as a verb, as in "That storm could tornado at any time" (That's a Mike Morgan house rule).

Val just spotted funnels on the ground near El Reno!

Time to start drinking, everyone!!!! :D

Hmmm...I wonder if I can fit a keg in my "safe closet".

Tequila all around, Karrie!

Don't let them scare you too much...though I'm not happy that they had the horns going a couple minutes ago.

Guess I'll get the cats crated up, just in case.

I forgot to mention - I wasn't storm prepared.. I have no alcohol!

That's why I'm so stressed...

Oh Karrie! You MUST be storm prepared this time of year! :) I'm thinking of putting a little fridge in my safe closet. If the house is going to be destroyed, I might as well have cool adult beverages to enjoy. :D

Yeah, I don't know why they sounded the sirens in Oklahoma City. The storm itself was in west El Reno.

Both vehicles are under the carport and I am in for the night, so I think I'll sit back, watch Gary, surf OKCTalk, drink my Dr. Thunder, and eat my Braums strawberry shortcake sundae.....Yawn......

Wow. Those storms really fell apart fast. Oh well...guess I'll put my drinks away for the next "tornado panic".

I did find that I actually shut down my computer earlier in case a tornado hit...as if having it turned off will prevent it from being damaged in a tornado. :D

The good thing was that I found out my "safe closet" was a bit small for me and 2 animal crates. We have since relocated our storm gear to what I call "the gas line closet" (the gas line to the fireplace is next to it). That's probably not very safe though. Must reevaluate my options before the next storm. And check into that mini-fridge.

Hey Tequila works the same way as Xanax, only you don't need a prescription. No lie!
