(((Pretend you hear the Emergency Broadcast System sound effect)))In the words of
Mike The Cool Person, this is actually very serious! The National Weather Service has issued a
Tornado Warning for a good chunk of The OC and South LA County. A Warning is different than a Watch, because a Watch means a tornado could possibly happen. A Warning means a spinning cloud of destruction
"has been seen or picked up by radar." Someone get Helen Hunt on the phone!
The best part is the Warning says the best place to be in a tornado is in the basement. Uh, ok, last time I checked Sparky, no one in So Cal has a freaking basement! They tend to fill with debris during those shaky things we get here.
All joking aside and as a service to my massive readership, at least one of you is in the area affected. Plan accordingly.
(((UPDATED)))Um, yeah, ok, so no joking, apparently they are urging people to get off the beaches (what the hell is wrong with you people who are there!?!) and Newport Beach is getting 72 mile per hour wind gusts. In the words of Philip Seymour Hoffman,
"it's the wonder of nature, baby!"
(guitar solo at 1:52 by Ritchie Blackmore of Deep Purple, "Child in Time" because I know that is exactly what you were needing to know right about now.)
(((UPDATED again)))A car was flipped, windows smashed, and a chunk of roof taken off by "probably" a tornado says the
National Weather Service!?! Oh good, well, at least it wasn't a Cloverfield attack. Sheesh.
