Nature's fury never looses. Man continues to think he can build something that is stronger then nature, and nature always proves he can not.

Trailers and now windmills, WHERE WILL IT END?!
The old joke, farmer in Kansas has a trailer in the middle of his 200 acre field, a friend asked why? Farmer said to keep the twister away from the house!

Can't wait for the first tornado to strike a solar panel farm, can you imaging the amount of glass flying around! runaway


The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.

In the past he has rented cars & taken the insurance thru the rental company.
He has sense been out in a “do not rent to list”.

Back in 1970 when I was a 12 year old we lived in that area.
My moms side of the family lived there, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins.
A few cousins are the only ones still in that area, all the others have moves to other parts of Iowa.

Friends of the family lost everything in that tornado.
5th-generation Iowa farm flattened by tornado

My Uncle said it hit the farm that he lived on when they first got married, it left the house but destroyed everything else.


Kayse can't keep up at all now. lol
