Puzzle Description:
This is a lousy puzzle of our basketball hoop. When the net (blue line)is horizontal to the ground, it's tornado time. It has never failed to warn us.

Lousy but funny. Unless you have a horizontal net, I suppose.#2: bugaboo (bugaboo) on Jan 16, 2011

But what's your rate of false alarms?#5: Sarah Andrews (sarah) on Jan 17, 2011 [SPOILER]
On a related note, I have an elephant stampede alarm that has never failed to warn me. ;)
Never a false alarm. The baskbetball hoop never lies.#6: Tom O'Connell (sensei69) on Jan 17, 2011
The dishes in the cabinet are our earthquake warning system and they work very well. Joe, thank goodness your elephant alarm works so well; you wouldn't want to get caught unaware.
especially without any underwear#7: Sarah Andrews (sarah) on Jan 17, 2011
Tom, elephants don't wear underwear, they wear Brian's Dad's pajamas (puzzle 10726) lol#8: Brian Bellis (mootpoint) on Jan 17, 2011

How much time does your horizontal net warning system give you? Seconds? Minutes? Days? I should imagine the dishes earthquake warning is a matter of seconds -- when you hear the dishes rattling, IMMEDIATELY drop, cover and hold. I believe that is the current thinking. I live in earthquake country -- because the Pacific Rim is VERY LARGE -- and the recommendations on what to do in an earthquake change periodically.
