I saw a "Killer Tornado" once in Texas. Also, the Rogue River in southern Oregon is chock full of "Rogue waves". "Menacing Thunderstorms" are common in the U.S. midwest. "Brooding Dark Clouds" are found everywhere. The persistant rain in the Pacific NW is "unapologetic". Salmon that jump but won't bite are "teasing" or "smart". Heavy objects that I cannot lift are "uncooperative". Kayaks that I can't paddle fast are "lethargic" and "defective". Still haven't found any "mellow tornados".
