   I think they tend to live indoors & have a large remote, property to go out   
   nude when the wearther permits.  In Florida, of course, that's pretty much   
   year-round -- in Canada, it's 1-3 days/year in some places. . .   
      
   We had a nude beach here in Vamcouver I visuited a few times as a teen -- it's   
   gone now, out of flagging interest, & police(in uniform) presence (cracking   
   down on drugs(before cannabis was federally legalised), fires, selling)

   You'd thin, but Vancouver airport had a tornado recently! I'd never thought it   
   was possible, as we are the opposite of the terrain & Latitude they seem to   
   prefer. . .   
      
   Seemed to be a smaller affair than Tornado Alley reguilarly sees, as do our   
   Prairie provinces.   
      
   I'd probably describe it as an especially large dust devil, not a tornado. . .   
   :)    
      
   But I'm no meteorologist, I'm just a wordsmith.   
      
   I'm starting to write a book about a tornado disaster   
   It's just a draft at the moment.   
      
   What did the windmill say to the tornado?   
   "Honestly, I'm a big fan!"   
      
   Q: What do you say if a tornado blows off 25% of your roof?   
   A: Oof   
      
   Did you hear about the boarding house that was hit by a tornado?   
   Roomers were flying.   
      
   I am trying to get tornado insurance for my campsite, but the companies keep   
   denying my application.   
   They told me, “If your tent gets blown away, you won’t be covered.”   
      
   Did you hear about the tornado in southern USA that was swallowing everything   
   in its path?   
   It was called the VoreTex-Us.   
      
   Did you guys hear about the tornado that hit a cheese shop recently?   
   Da brie was everywhere   
      
   My wife made a tornado for dinner.   
   She was cooking up a storm.
