… Friday, and my favorite meteorologist, Atlanta’s Karen Minton was reporting severe (tornadoes, etc) weather updates, and telling everyone in affected areas of our state to take cover in their homes.

If there was no basement, these folks should go to the very innermost room in their home.

Such as the bathroom.

And get in the tub.

With (if they had one) a bicycle helmet on.

_ **DISCLAIMER** _

Folks, I _know_ this is good advice, so don’t jump my ass about it, okay??? I just couldn’t resist telling **Dondra** the following…

_ **END OF DISCLAIMER** _

“See? Karen says it’s okay if I do this, but _you’re_ blaming my dementia!!!”

Thanks

I also heard somewhere that it’s a good idea to paint on a mustache and goatee with lipstick, and wear swim fins. You can tell Donda your good friend TriP said it was a ok 😃

Oh, and post pictures 😉

**Trip** ,

You get a LMFAO for that one!!!

I’m thinking of doing just that and sending it to Karen, along with an appropriate tune. Got a suggestion?

And you’re right. You _are_ our good friend!

I grew up in Oklahoma so I know tornadoes. When ever a tornado is possible, you should eat bacon and look at porn. My house has NEVER been hit by a tornado.
