Fuck, man. I think that would scare me to the point of moving... My wife's childhood house in Cedar Park (Just North of North West Austin) had the roof pulled off of it. The houses behind and in front of theirs were obliterated. Fortunately the tornado was during the day while they where at work/school.
Yep, I live in Harvest. My wife and I were huddled in our extra room in the garage last year when all the tornadoes hit (the most internal room in the house; no outside walls). We had four pass within 2 miles of our house. A couple of them got DANGEROUSLY close. So close in fact that driving half a mile down the road revealed downed trees and utility poles all over the road and trees through a few houses. It was obvious they were passing by because the garage door would shake violently for a minute. Not fun.

You get wind, we get fire. Last year was the first time I've had to worry about wildfires and there was a small one about 1.5 miles from our house... Expecting another hot, historically dry summer... In ~2008, it rained like 25 days in June... It seemed like it never rained in 2011 and in spite of regular rain recently, we're still in extreme drought.
Extremely. It's why we're more prone to tornados than the south and east side of Huntsville.Quote:

When I lived in my hometown of Ozark, it was tornados AND hurricanes. :eek:
Looks like $20M/year from media revenue for B12 members moving forward :)

That's along what I'm thinking...I don't see how he got to a lot of these revelations?
The D of WV is our unanswered question. 3-4 and 4-3 are a totally different animal vs. the 3-3-5. Well, the front is similar, but, in the stack, the players are taught to bust gaps immediately. Versus the traditional 4-3 and 3-4 where patience is a virtue. I've read our players are adapting, but having some difficulty with the patience aspect. However, they like that they have more freedom in the new scheme. Best thing I've heard so far is DeForest says creating turnovers is priority #1.
