In the Mean Time

In transition, not lost in translation

Notes &

kristenfromkansas: also, when the people on channel 6 (lawrence) say they are going off the air to take cover, and you are in your basement-less town house off of clinton parkway, get in the bathtub with your three roommates and wait for the freight train sound to pass. rhapsodyinj: I was born and raised in Kansas, so I’m familiar with the weather terms for tornadoes. I learned last night that my friends are not. So, for your safety: Tornado Watch: Conditions have created a significant risk for tornados. Watch out.Tornado Warning: A tornado may be imminent. A funnel cloud has probably been spotted. Hide. You’re welcome. And wait for the walls to stop shaking (hard enough to knock pictures off the wall and mantle), make sure there are pillows in said bathtub, yell at other two roommates who “want to watch” until they chicken out at the very last second and yell “we’re all gonna die!” as they jump in the tub. Also, it was like a hybrid freight train-vacuum cleaner. The most terrifying sound you’ll ever hear. Like the Smoke Monster from Lost times a hundred.
