    Backstory:
    A friend of mine used to date a gal named Allie.  He referred to her as "tornado Allie" when she got, shall we say, agitated.  The first time he made mention of her in this way, I instantly knew it was a really cool hook.

    TORNADO ALLIE (c) Lisa L. Medill/Marc-Alan Barnette Don't be fooled by the calmness in her eyes In an instant you'll be spinning from the damage flying by Ain't nothin' you can do just can't hold it back She hails from Oklahoma leaves destruction in her wake There’s a trail of broken-hearted men across six states No man remains unscathed that stays in her path Yeah you better run for cover before it's too late Find yourself some shelter there's a big one taking shape (chorus) Tornado Allie Hell hath no fury like a woman's scorn Tornado Allie You'll be better off waiting out this storm You don't want to see the grand finale Of tornado Allie It starts the same way every single time Such an innocent hello ends up a category five High winds dark clouds building up to breakneck speed Yeah I was once a victim of her catastrophic ways Almost was a goner when her inhibitions caved Was bashed around by brutal words that she hurled at me I picked up the pieces with some help from Betty Lou Her work’s beyond the Red Cross yeah she knew what to do (chorus) (bridge) Stay away from windows, search for safer ground Women grab your men because she’ll take what’s not held down (chorus) (tag) Tornado Allie
