WTF is WRONG with these people? Tornado/disaster sirens are blaring, the storm is raging, and Angie, Jesse, Natalia, Babe and Little Adam are all hanging around in the bar area. Babe and Little Adam were actually elsewhere and came BACK into the area. Then Babe sits Little Adam down ON TOP OF THE BAR. You know, right across from all the glass bottles and glasses that are set on the numerous shelves behind the bar. No one seems to notice the sirens, even though Jesse is the CoP and has issued orders for everyone ELSE in town to take cover.

Then there's Kendall, with her two babies. She KNOWS there's a tornado warning. She loses contact with Zach on the cellphone as he gets sucked up into the vortex. So what does she do? She grabs a couple of seat cushions from the porch and then ... sits down on the couch with her babies playing on the floor. Near a window. A little later she has Spike on the couch as Ian is in his little walker. What did she think the sirens were about? Did she think they were whimsical whale calls? Even SHE can't be so stupid as to think that's safe enough, can she? What am I saying? Of COURSE she can be (and IS) just THAT stupid!

Hmmm, getting hit by doors in tornados appears to be a genetic trait. Tad got knocked out by one during the LAST tornado. Then Petey was out cold after the front door blew into HIS head.

I LOVE the new baby Ian! He is SOO chatty and lively and happy! Of course, that means they'll probably be replacing him pretty soon -- can't have a baby actor that actually shows more signs of life than a lizard sunning on a rock, after all.

When Zach was climbing out of his car they showed the landscape around him, including power and telephone lines. Those lines were as still as if there were not even a slight breeze or even squirrels running across them. Hey, CGI dept -- PAY ATTENTION -- those things will whip around like crazy on a merely WINDY day!
