Yeah the dam' thing tore up the Albany MegaCentre...where are we going to get our takeaways tonight??
Levity aside, I was there an hour before, and could've been there an hour after, that's life.

Just this morning we were saying: "Well all we need now is a volcano, and Nature will have done the lot!"

What about locusts?
Did you have them recently?

Thanks Marty.
I don't know... perhaps keep your shakes!
At least a tornado only comes around once in a decade, although curiously the last one around these parts ten years ago also hit Albany!
