Journal Entry 13

Oklahoma weather---

It makes my eyes watery. I never had allergies until I came to this state. I saw my first tornado here. It was an F3 that hit the flightline on Tinker AFB. I watched it from Crossroads Mall until it hit base. I was so scared yet thrilled at the same time. I told my comrads, "I am from Tennessee. I don't do tornadoes." But this tornado was beautiful. I was enthralled with how it picked everything up, slung it down, and then- WOOSH- it was gone and there was an eerie silence. The skies are beaitiful here on clear nights, and luckily the city is spread out so one can see the stars better here than most cities. If there is one thing that I have learned about the weather if I don't like it--- it would be to just wait a minute- that's just how quickly it changes.
