There was a tornado extremely close to where I grew up! It went across water and uninhabited hunting land, fortunately.

Here, just heat and thunderstorms, though I was in a Pennsylvania tornado quite a few years ago. That SCA tall tale about the tornado hitting an event, and a tree landing on some poor guy? It isn’t a tall tale, and “that guy” was Nick. We were back from the hospital in time for the feast.

Welcome!

I’ve been doing stuff with string for quite some time, and describing it to others online since 1996 or so at Phiala’s String Page.

I also do some science and write some fiction.

I’m Phiala most places on the internet.
