I biked in a tornado!

[Geonz]

I do feel very lucky. And I have been milking the story. After I posted it on my newspaper blog, the editor called me so he could get some quotes for the storm story he was writing.

One person said "You need a little dog in your basket now." I know, right? I've already got the upright posture on my bike, and now the tornado, I only need a green face, warty nose, and a little dog.

It was good experience because if I'm ever in those conditions again I'll know to stop and do something.

I know what you mean! How many mental rewinds did it take you to figure out just how lucky you were?

This story also means you'll have credibility when you suggest "perhaps we should seek shelter... been here and *done this*..."
