You did the correct mature thing and didnt bail, you should be tellinh yourself how mature you are. meh, I've always tried to be that way but where the hell has it gotten me? Nowhere. I passed up what should have been the best day of my life for something else that I love doing as well. I just don't know how to think...I've loved weather much longer than baseball so I feel as if I should have chosen the weather. This just sucks...I just really can't put my emotions fully into words.

40/70 Benchmark Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 It's easy to joke about how rare this is and how it won't happen for another 30 years, but just think back to Feb 2010 in the ma.....they thought they wouldn't see another HECS for years and years, but lo and behoold....5 days later....boom...even bigger.

You had an obligation to the game and you met it like a mature adult. I missed out on seeing springfield because I am dead broke and could not afford to drive any further west, it frustrates me but there are some things you make hard decisions about. Its something you had to do. Lets put it this way: this chase day never existed for you, it never occurred or was going to occur, you had somewhere to be and you did your job as required.

RobertSul Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 You're not looking at the big picture, friend. There's plenty of opportunities throughout the middle of this country where you can view tornadoes totally unobstructed. In fact, I know a lot of posters from the deep south don't go chasing in their backyards because of all the obstruction from trees, elevation, etc. and will actually drive out to Oklahoma/Kansas/etc. to get much, MUCH better views. Face it, New England just isn't cut out for tornado chasing, strictly from elevated terrain, twisty windy roads, and trees. One day you'll get to go out to the plains and see large tornadoes, with the added bonus of not having to worry so much about large population centers being in harm's way. meh, I've always tried to be that way but where the hell has it gotten me?

Trust me, I know this but the issue is getting out west, it would just cost so much money and the money that it would cost for me to do this could pay off my loans to get back to school. I know people will say I spend/waste money on gas with my friend chasing here but that's really just a small amount of money compared to the cost of going west/paying off my loans. Perhaps next spring I can get out west...I don't even care if I have to sleep in a car or eat dollar menu 3-5 times a day for a week or so. AS long as I have money to help cover gas I don't care about anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really have thought about what could have happened had we went through and everything and honestly I think I would have been prepared for whatever happened. Who knows...we really could have been stuck on that bridge and that could have been a disaster. I know you have to think safety first...and once I have the chance to settle down and clear my head I'll realize this. I really hate to be so emotional about this but this is really so stressfully emotional I just need to get it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clinch Leatherwood Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 PP fail will be the death of them if they are to lose....they usually respond...we'll see. Everyone at the bruins party here in the hood had a boner over the 5 on 3. We had lots of low quality shots from the point.....our power play is all vertical no horizontal. You don't score goals often from the point in the Cup. You score horizontally like the Canucks did. Our power play is attrocious. Worse is Boychuk, who is a defensive liability. He got beat twice in the same play - really three times. He's our worst and most exploited player on defense and it's clear they know he's a weakness. Hope you are feeling well Ray and safe.

If I go out there it will be with friends...my family blows...with the exception of a few people. Nothing but a bunch of drug abusing bums for the most part. I do remember looking at bus fare to OKC and with advanced purchase round trip is only like $225 or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polski Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 When was the last big Tornado in the northeast? I remember seeing the Mechanicsville-Stillwater tornado just north of Albany in 1998... that was F3 and the damage was incredible. Was that the last F3 or larger for this area? Not seeing anyone has replied to this. Don't know if there's been an F3 or greater since in New England or NY. The 7/24/2008 long-track tornado starting in Deerfield NH was EF-2 per http://www.aos.wisc....ter_Straus.pdf. Going back before 1998, some Google hits say Great Barrington MA 5/29/95 was F4 but this seeming authoritative documentation says F3: http://journals.amet...0.1175/WAF957.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but something like today is much more rare than a perfect game and I just felt so confident about today, how everything was coming together...I know we've had threats in the past but there was always something wrong and it got overlooked...today had EVERYTHING. Who knows when that will happen again. Sure we could see more potent events over the next few weeks but for something like today to occur again?
