Get Swept Away at the Science Center This Weekend

Kind of ironic that I am writing this post during one of the rare times that Pittsburgh is under a tornado warning.  I have been talking about tornados recently – one of my dear friends just found out she will be moving with her new husband to Oklahoma this summer.  This is kind of sad news for me because right now she lives in Hawaii – and I think that I would rather visit Hawaii more than Oklahoma – although I am always up for visiting new places ( I had a surprisingly delightful trip to Montgomery, Alabama last year.)

But back to the topic at hand – Tornados – fortunately for us – Pittsburgh rarely gets tornados. But the documentary film Tornado Alley will be blowing into town this weekend to open its run here in town.  To celebrate the film’s arrival the Carnegie Science Center wants you to get wrapped up in the tornado stuff.

  • Sean Casey of Storm Chasers will be here on Friday and Saturday with the Tornado Intercept Vehicle
  • Saturday, March 26, 2011 – Tornados with a Twist – a special screening of Tornado Alley and discussion with Sean Casey – reservations are required for this
