Yep. Just wait until you're staring down the barrel of a category 5.

Hurricanes and tornadoes - Louisianans are a tough group. I don't like this kind of weather.

You won't see any of the huge tornadoes in South Louisiana; we don't even have sirens in most areas. Hurricanes go in cycles, but when the conditions are right it seems like all of them head this way.

Also, to the people who still think he's an alter:

I have to admit that tornadoes make me very nervous. I supposed I will get used to it.

How much advance warning are you going to get if a hurricane is approaching?

Oh you will know for at least a week. If its headed right for New Orleans they usually issue a mandatory evacuation depending on where you live and the strength of the hurricane.

How do you know whether to ride it out or get the hell out? If they do not order you to leave but you want to leave, will you lose your job?

I think a fake would have used telly to refer to telephone in an attempt to sound more English without realizing that telly = television. English people just say phone or blower for telephone.

Very few people stick around for that shite beyond emergency personnel. If your line of business can't wait, they might evacuate you and bus you back in if you are essential.

Otherwise, you just leave for a while.

Depends on the strength of the storm. Category 3 or higher get the hell out of Dodge.

You won't see many down there. Also, if you are in an area with tornadoes, you won't get used to it either.

Applegate I want to believe you. Here is your test for non-alter status. Show at Finn's on Saturday for the Old Firm at 7:00am in a Fulham jersey. Chelsea/Tottenham will be on at 7:45 and Arsenal/Aston Villa at 10:00am. I will buy you a pint. What shirt will you be wearing?

I approve of this. You have no excuse to miss the biggest rivalry in professional football, and potentially Celtic take the title against Gers.

Knowing Glass he'll probably buy you more than that. Papa Glass likes to get people drunk.
