    Pedant incoming: Adverse, usually applied to things, often means "harmful" or "unfavorable" and is used in instances like "adverse effects from the medication." Averse usually applies to people and means "having a feeling of distaste or dislike." It is often used with to or from to describe someone having an aversion to something.

    🌪 Getting in a ditch is only safe if there's no rain. Which is not likely. Flash flooding is a real risk during a Twister

    • @qualicumwilson5168
      @qualicumwilson5168 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Flash rainfall occurs during a twister but does flooding occur with a twister or after the twister has travelled on. I never seen one so I am just asking the question. I HAVE seen flash floods but also, all floods I have seen, were far from where the rain actually fell.

    Years ago, around 1990, I lived in Wyoming, MI. One afternoon on a super overcast day I was sitting on my balcony when I noticed the clouds flashing soft greens and pinks.
    Later on the news they mentioned that a rare daytime aurora had occurred. Have always hoped to see its like at least one more time.

    The thing about people believing that the cold weather and getting sick, have anything to do with the other. This drives me insane. Even if your immune system does get lowered, the actual temperature of the weather does not cause you to become ill. You could go outside dripping, wet and naked and you still wouldn’t get sick just because it’s cold. Here’s what I usually say to people, you get in a shower when it’s warm you get out and it’s not, you sit in your car in the heat when you get out it’s cold. You go inside your house and it’s warm, outside It’s cold. How many times do you get sick because of this? The constant temperature change did not make you sick.

    Omg on the topic of lightning...do not underestimate it ever! When i was a kid we had lightning come down our chimney attracted by the metal blower vents in its front it arced across our living room blew up our tv then jumped to our land line phone and it fried all the phone lines up our entire street. It was so loud and wild. At that same house we had a thunder boom so loud it shattered our kitchen window and in a completely different house a lightning storm again came through the land line and fried our computer modem. Whenever theres lightning all computers and game systems get shut down and unplugged in my house. I do not mess with weather lol

    Part 1
    x Speaking of weather phenomena:
    o The mascot of my community college (Southeast Community College) was the Storm.
    o The consistent mascot, unofficial and official, until that point of all my schooling had the cat theme (K-12 Garfield County Schools/Garfield The Cat, Doane University/Tiger, University of Missouri/Tiger), both domestic (Garfield The Cat) and wild (Tigers -actually the Kentucky Wildcats won the national championship for basketball in 1998, the year of the transition from domestic to wildcat).
    o In 2023 Southeast Community College changed their mascot, to the surprise of the community, to the Bobcat...which then makes all my formal schooling having the unofficial and official theme of the cat.
    x The graduation colors of my high school class is The Rainbow, with each student wearing a color of the rainbow and the same colors standing next to each other in like a cluster.
    o The Rainbow Colors was picked because of all the pop culture references.
    † My idea for the colors was camoflage (because of the links to hunting and to the millitary) but was a great example of a strong 2nd place (The Rainbow Colors was clearly the best choice).
    o My color was orange and when I graduated Doane University it was black (the colors of Doane University are orange and black).
    o There were 36 students that graduated, which is my birth number (12/7/1979 = 1+2+7+1+9+7+9 = 36)
    o All three parts of my name (Benjamin + James + Tetschner) were in other classmates though not all in the same position (three classmates with the middle name James, my cousin's last name is also Tetschner, but none with Benjamin as the first name).
    † The middle name James (along with the last name Tetschner, since it is my siblings last name) is present in all three of my siblings graduating classes.
    o We were the last high school Generation X class (as was anyone graduating at that time since only around half of the next graduating high school class was Generation X).
    † In retrospect, we were the last Generation X classes for every grade from K-12.
    o For sociology I specialize in groups and that involved three of my favorite groups:
    † Burwell High School Class of 1998
    † Generation X
    † The 90s (AKA The Last Great Decade)
    NOTE: You'd be shocked if you knew how many groups I study and how interesting they are!
    x I am wearing socks with that Pink Floyd image on it right now!
    o Granted I cycle through six different types of Dark Side of the Moon socks (which were bought in a pack at Walmart and do not all have that symbol) that I have been wearing since...wait for it....
    x The Dark Side of the Snow Moon
    o From the start of the Snow Moon to Leap Day (February 24th - February 29th) I watched a series of films and music videos, ending on the release day of Dark Side of the Moon (March 1st - Full circle, right?).
    o I had an official drink (Mountain Dew Maja Blast) and snack (Space Oreos), both of which were Super Bowl commercials.
    o I watched 84 music videos...can you guess what they were?
    † The vibe of all the videos involve the dark and the mysterious.
    † They are a mix of my personal favorites, those of high cultural significance, and international potentials (international musical groups that are trying to break through).
    † Though the international groups might be seeminly impossible to get, there is an pattern that, when identified, will show the names of all those music videos.
    † Since I just was talking about The Class of 98, I will give those two numbers of music videos:
    🌚#9 - "Doctor! Doctor!" by Thompson Twins
    🌚#8 - "The Killing Moon" by Echo & The Bunneymen
    † The big catch is that you only get one guess!
    🧩What a thought puzzle for Mental Floss!

    Aurora's near the North Pole? Perhaps you meant "near North Magnetic Pole" as the Aurora Borealis are magnetic line following phenomenon, and those go toward the Magnetic pole, I believe. OTOH those poles are quite close to each other, so your statement is, Like the hero in "The Princess Bride" being "mostly dead", only you being "mostly right". Pedantic, yes but . . . Your basic premise is about misconceptions.

Do better.Also the tornado under a bridge is bad is MOSTLY wrong. Lay down in a ditch??? WTF? The twister can pick up a truck, dont you think it can get you too? Get up under the bottom of the overpass, climb into the structure area. It DOESNT MOVE, it doesnt get swept away, hold on tight and you'll be safer.
