Crazy Weather…
We had some crazy weather the other night. I woke up at 4 am to a tornado siren, (which I did not know my town had) and heard wind and rain and thunder that shook our house. The rest of the day the weather continued to come and go, with hail, and wind and the occasional tornado warning. It was not a day to be outside at all.
Growing up in CA, the most extreme things I ever experienced were earthquakes. When they were over, they were over, and you definitely knew when they were there. The thing with tornados, is I just have no clue what to look for, or when it’s over. It really scares me! The kids and I literally set up a tent downstairs near our hallway which is the only area of our house with no outside walls, which they advise is the safest place. Our dog shook and panted, and literally sat in my lap, while we patiently waited for it to all be over. I’m beginning to wish our house had a basement!
I guess my fears were realized when I saw this from the newspaper today:
“2 dead, dozens injured as homes lie in ruins after tornado” ~The Tennessean
These poor people…
