The Cozy Corner

[mobleedzblue]

Yes... one thousand percent yes
which way is the wind going?
how green is the sky?
is that a patio furniture cushion?
oh, there's the siren... better check radar to see if we should go inside

Same! My kids are like you're such a Midwestern dad

My area just updated the siren alert system. We used to get sirens for storms that were already past us and we weren’t in any danger. Usually, I’d look outside because I was calling bullshit on the sirens. Now, they at least split our area up into 4 or 5 zones.

I did get caught driving home from work last spring and a tornado went through just a few miles up the road I was on. Had a limb fall, barely missing my truck and land on a power line. I got the fuck outta that area real quick. Looked like a war zone with splintered trees everywhere. Closest I’ve ever been.

I thought you needed the bathrobe open too when you step outside?

No robe, it’s usually just shorts and no shirt for me

 

[ScarletDaisy]

I disagree a bit. Ive lived in tornado alley my whole life (lower midwest). It'd shock you how many homes dont have basements. But in most instances towns and cities have shelters they open up for the citizens and tornado sirens are tested frequently.

Exactly this. This was my first year that we had a warning in January though.

(p.s. sorry for treading in randomly unannounced. I was passing through and saw the tornado discussion.)

You're always welcome. Don't we have a welcome bag? One moment...Let me check my she-shed...

Here it is! Chocolates, cookies and a new coffee mug, just for you!

There's a variety of acceptable dad watching storm attire...largely based on time of day.

It’s so true!

Do you live in an area where the ground is rocky?

Nope. It's flat as shit. And mostly farmland. Oklahoma (where I grew up) is a mix though.

You being a little whirlwind of chaos is always welcome.. Its what you do.. we like it!

Aww shucks. Thanks!

Sweet! I will cherish it forever.

I am thankful to no longer live in western Missouri. We had basements but if I never see or experience another tornado it'll be too soon.

Lucky, lucky. Missouri has gotten some big ones in the last 10 ish years.

Is that an Amber? Ambers are my favorite style of beer!

I get the impression we should all be taking notes here

I'm intrigued ....fruit beers have a ton of range from yuck too sweet for beer to this is so delicious. Id definitely ask for a drink of yours at the very least ....ok fine I'll just order one

A blueberry wheat

That’s a hard pass for me. Not a blueberry beer kinda guy.

 

[CJamarous]

Everyone in the Midwest just cracks open a beer and steps outside to see if it’s close or not……or is that just me?

Yes... one thousand percent yes
which way is the wind going?
how green is the sky?
is that a patio furniture cushion?
oh, there's the siren... better check radar to see if we should go inside

This! And yup!

I was pleasantly surprised by a local brewery here that produces a shandy and an orange cream cider ...both I would usually avoid but in both cases they are dry and still have full flavor

I like a shandy in the right circumstances and I need it to be a little on the tart side. Usually ciders are a no but I'll always try stuff

Love most traditional beers
In summer I love a sour
Anything on the hoppy side of things for sure
