Note that it's after 8:45am now, and yet we're still being told that the emergency hasn't passed yet. I want breakfast, damnit! Okay, I want a shower first, but surely I can get something to eat first. Surely?
Actually, I hear tornado chasing is an exciting hobby. Now someone announce that the emergency has passed so I can do all of the above minus the tornado chasing.
Fun fact: I tried posting this via LJ Talk and got this.

:D
