Lessons Learned: The Hastings Hail Storm

On Wednesday, May 11, 2005 BitchNichole sat at her computer working on her final for Intercultural Communication when Newbie, who had quietly fallen asleep on the couch watch A Different World, screamed "Omigod a tornado is coming!!!" BitchNichole immediately jumped up and ran outside to the balcony of their apartment where, despite a lot of wind, the weather was extremely calm. Since the tri-cities had been receiving non-stop tornado warning for the last three days BitchNichole reassured Newbie that there would be no tornado so she should go back to watching her 90's sitcom. About ten minutes later Rooms and Dre3000 entered the apartment soaking wet, and claiming that they had just made it in time and the storm was really hitting now. They walked out onto the balcony together to watch the rain.

5 minutes later there was a knock on the door and everyone inside was told to go to the storm shelter. We were gonna have a tornado! BitchNichole grabbed the essentials: her iPod and cell phone and ran through the pouring rain to the storm shelter where several other apartment residents sat with newspapers and laptops waiting for the tornado to hit.

They stayed there for about 30 minutes playing games like if-the-world-were-to-end-right-now-and-you-had-to-repopulate-who-in-this-shelter-would-you-sleep-with. It kept going and going until only the ugly boys were left at which point Rooms and BitchNichole decided they would rather the species die out.

It was about at this point that softball size hail started pouring down outside. Some one came down and said "BitchNichole your car alarm is going off and it looks like your back window has been busted out."

BitchNichole then ran upstairs to the door where she saw her poor little Sean Ess Dog sitting in the parking lot, his alarm screaming at the pain that he was going through. At this point I could tell you that BitchNichole screamed and tried to run out of the shelter while a group of people pulled her back as she shouted "No, I've got to save him, he's the only boy that I've ever loved!" And then Cam said "You can't go out there like that, you'll die!" and then BitchNichole looked him straight in the eye, and just like in the hurricane scene of Karate Kid Part II said "Now to you I am dead." And then ran outside and threw her body over her car to protect his poor little bruised body.

However that just makes a good story and is in no way true whatsoever. Instead BitchNichole called Mom40 and told her about possible damages to her beloved vehicle. After the storm ended she left the storm shelter to see that Sean Ess Dog's back window was still perfectly in place, but he did have a cracked windshield and a lot of body damage. She kissed him several times and told him what a good boy he was for surviving the storm.

The rest of campus didn't make it out so well. 90% of the windows on campus have been broken and several cars have been destroyed by the softball sized ice cubes. However, there were no casualties as a result of the hail storm of '05 just several bruised hearts.
