Went to 5 branches of my favorite pick up bank and was only able to get 4 boxes(2 skunks) but the head teller at 1 branch just ask me if I like to just set up a standing order. So I played the aww shucks bit and now I have an order every week at that branch.

Reddirt can back me up on this. When I was a kid until the late 80s they said open windows to keep the pressure equal in the house. In the early 90s they said to stop doing that. I still see houses and hear stories every year that get hit and the walls left standing are the ones with open windows.

i've seen just the opposite, with intact houses having shut windows. Sounds like the reason that the recommendation changed was that there are a lot more factors than equalizing air pressure.

When I first visited to Missouri I was asked by my girlfriend's father to go buy a farm for him. It was raining like crazy that night. I went over to the Realtor's office to make the offer and found he could not run the computer or draft a contract (and he was a broker!). So just as I was sitting down to typed up my first American offer myself the tornado siren went off. Never having lived in a tornado zone before I asked what we should do and the broker just said to finish the contract so that's what I did. Got the deal too Later I went back to the house and we settled in the basement for a while.
