I got a text from my cousin Brian, who lives in NY now but who grew up near me back in South Dakota.

"Same old same old."

As explanation: Brian grew up in Spencer, which got hit by a category 4 tornado in 1998 and subsequently looked like this:

Winds of over 200 mph will do that to a place. Actually, just looking at those pictures brought back memories I didn't know I had of helping to clear debris for what seemed like an eternity.

Anyway, the summer before that, his family had come to visit us and we'd all been out grilling at a park when a predicted bout of rain exploded both early and massively (ahh, the crazy days before constant internet weather updates). There hadn't been any word of tornadoes, and no sirens had gone off, so we all piled into the car to go home. Now, those kinds of storms are a part of living in a dump like South Dakota, but that was the only time in my life I literally drove by a tornado and watched, through rain soaked windows, as it tore the roof off of a house.

Crazy enough, but two years before THAT they were on their way to visit his uncle in Fort Riley, Kansas, and a category two tornado hit the area.

The moral of the story: if Brian moves to your neck of the woods, just fucking leave.

With the surge of the ocean out east I was reminded about the old western interior seaway. The idea that the earth could change it's landscape like that is pretty scary.
