I just wear a helmet with a lightning rod connected to a full body chain mail suit whenever I go hiking with a chance of storms.

Interestingly, tornadoes mainly occurred north and south of me during my first two years, north of me during my next five years, and south of me (and a little north) during the last ten years.

Tornado tracks near me since moving to Oklahoma during the summer of 2009 (almost 17 years!!). I've lived in three different places in that time.

Took a trip to one of my favorite places in Oklahoma today. Perfect hiking weather before the wind comes sweeping down the plain (understatement) tomorrow.

PRESSURE Official Trailer (2026) Brendan Fraser
PRESSURE Official Trailer (2026) Brendan Fraser YouTube video by ONE Media

Finally a movie about the stress of meteorologists trying to convince decision-makers to change their plans based on a weather forecast.

The movie focuses on British meteorologist James Stagg and the pressure he felt leading up to the D-Day invasion.

As someone who was raised in a Hoosier household and attended a few IU football games growing up... this team is surreal. Just incredible.
