horrified fascination

[luciab]

I'm sitting here with CNN on (I've gotten hooked on Anderson Cooper. Not quite sure how that happened.) Not only did Hurricane Rita just become the third strongest hurricane on record, there is a cross-country size plane getting ready to make an emergency landing at LAX, and now they just announced there is a tornado on the ground in the Minneapolis-St Paul area, headed toward downtown. Oh, and gas is expected to go to $5/gallon because of Rita. I think I'd better turn the TV off before something else happens. I should probably just take my book and crawl into my magically safe four poster bed. Maybe with some hot cocoa or something. If I don't go soon I might need a toddy or something instead.

Edit: DAMN!! That pilot is GOOD.
