WHY OH WHY????

Tell me why is it that I traveled all the way to Oklahoma in June to visit my best friend in hopes of finding some of that severe weather they're famous for and had 4 days of beautiful weather? In fact, my best friend's husband said it was the first stretch of that many days that they'd had that were sunny. OF COURSE IT WAS!

I mean, their weather is so famous, Rogers and Hammerstein wrote it into one of their songs...

OKLAHOMA!
Where the wind comes sweepin' down the plain....
And the wavin' wheat can sure smell sweet,
When the wind comes right behind the rain...

If they're so famous for their severe weather, why wasn't I privy to it? I even went to my own personal mecca - The National Weather Center! I toured it and their 360˚ tower that provides a fabulous view of severe weather coming in from any direction. Nope. Sun. Just sun is all I saw.

And now my friend posts this today.

Its so unfair.

But I do have to say, that photo is FABULOUS! Now if only I could see weather like that some day!! NJ is too tame!! Oh well...maybe next time I'm out there...
