Nasty Weather
Just to the north of me. Apparently several people were killed by tornadoes early this morning up in central Florida, and now there are tornado warnings for Titusville and the Cape. While it's unlikely, if a twister were to hit the VAB, it could be a disaster for NASA. Of course, a hurricane is a much larger threat, due to the more comprehensive nature of it, but it's certainly possible (and would be extremely bad luck) to get hit by a tornado.

A tornado hitting the VAB would be the biggest blessing that NASA could possibly recieve. It would completely knock out both the Shuttle and Ares in one fell swoop.
NASA would finally have a convenient political excuse to lay off everyone at USA and ATK and purchase commercial launch services.

HI Rand: Maybe you heard about the roof collapsing on an Energia Hangar, destroying one very valuable Energia rocket inside.

I'm sure its scrap value -- which is just about all the value it had -- was not seriously changed by having a roof fall on it.
