Ugh...need more sleep.....

Rumble rumble rumble.

Crash.

Rumble rumble rumble.

Yes, it's 4 am and a storm is nearly here. Blearily turning on the tv, Cow sees wide-awake, neatly dressed weathermen standing in front of the radar map, hears "tornadic circulation" or something, pulls on her boots, grabs a cat and goes out to the shelter.

Cow is really, really grateful for these weathermen. Do they stay up all night when a storm is coming, do they sleep in the station, or are they just masters of getting dressed and awake really, really quickly? Cow is always really reassured to see them, with their pointers, and maps, and the new Tornado Rating system of 1-10. Their nice voices telling you what to do, giving you wind speed and probable path.

What would we do without weathermen?
Moo!

They'd be even more useful if they could control it as well as report it.

Gorilla, it's well known that Gorilla frowns cause it to rain, and Gorilla smiles cause the sun to beam down. Anybody else controlling it would just be superfluous.

Supermom, yes, Cow was very happy to get into the warmth of the steel shelter, where it is always quiet and peaceful no matter what is happening outside. Expensive but worth it.

Moo!
