We are currently in the midst of a Tornado Warning in middle Tennessee. Tornados have become commonplace during this time of year. As real as the threat is, I always have to laugh at the people they round up to interview for the local news outlets.

Case in point, I was reading a local news article a few minutes ago about the storm that is currently moving through the area. In the article, they make me so proud of my hometown of Dickson, TN. The following is the quote from my hometown hero, "It come right over me. ... I heard the storm coming, I went down to the creek bed, and I hunkered down. It was gone as quick as it come."
