Try harder, Indy! Most podunk cities around US-Merica I've been to aren't even half a block of midtown Manhattan. Sad!
The tallest building in Lubbock, the Metro Tower, is 274 ft/84 meters, and was finished in 1955. It was also hit by an F5 tornado in 1970, survived and reopened in 1975, and renovated to include residential units and restaurants in 2021.
But they feel nicer, especially because we don't have to listen to the horrible northeastern accents all the time.
Not alive yet (in 1970), but I did just find out that it's still the westernmost tornado to be rated F5/EF5.
I find it utterly fascinating that most of those tornadoes move along a NE-SW axis. I suppose that's because of the prevailing winds/jetstream?
I liked Indys liddle downtown and that war monument area. But the highlight of my Indiana trip was seeing a gigantic tractor like this bigass one. Was tempted to drive right under it.
I think so. For Lubbock, we're kind of right on the edge of the jetstream coming down off the Rockies and then turning east and beginning to push north again.
Giddada-heah! So I'm waiting online and this dawg, he goes t'me, he goes, you want cwofee? Ay, I know dawgs can't tawk, but I ain't gunna turn down a free cuppa cwofee, right?
In part. Tornadoes are usually formed along a front caused by a low pressure bringing cold air from Canada/the pole and meeting with an influx of warm, moist air coming up from the Gulf of Mexico (yes, I refuse to change the name). It's the jet stream, but needs a push to be that way. Of course, not all tornadoes are From SW to NE.
Most Popular Food to Grill by State That thing in PA and NC is a filet mignon. Why in the Christ would you grill a filet mignon? Up in Oregon they've got lamb chops, presumably the animal was introduced before cooking.
