there are confirmed reports of straws penetrating trees or boards in tornadoes. Years ago some thought that tornado winds were fast enough to drive straws into trees, but measurements of tornado wind speeds have shown that they rarely approach 300 mph. The air pressure inside a tornado is lower than the surrounding pressure, but is far from a perfect vacuum. The most generally accepted theory about what happens is that the winds bend trees or boards enough to open up the grains, a straw flies in and the tree straightens up when the tornado moves on.

The tree just opened up, let the straw fly in and then closed back up all without ever losing a piece of bark! Yea that is absolutely freakin amazing.

Hey I forgot to mention to you that I have this bridge for sale if you're interested in that too!

Arhturp.

You could have been a politician! I haven't seen ducking and weaving like that since the Clinton administration<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

Nope, not me. I think you absolutely unequivically should keep shooting them! But, I am also rational enough to realize that just because they are not the right choice for you in your rare circumstance, doesn't mean they are not the right choice for me! You might also make note of the fact that I am not the one starting these &quot;if you don't do it my way you are doing it wrong&quot; threads! If someone doesn't like shootings carbons is the way for them to go then stick with aluminums and drop it!
