We're having terrible weather today.  It started last night and I wound up staying up to watch and make sure everyone would be able to get to our "safe place" until 5:00 a.m.  I couldn't stay awake anymore after that so went to sleep.  Thirty minutes later my mom calls me, luckily she was up that early, and she told me to get to my safe place.  I ran downstairs and turned on the TV and sure enough they were saying that a huge line of bad storms was heading right towards us and that everyone in the metro area should get to safety. 

I ran back up and threw on some clothes and woke up my husband and we grabbed some pillows and waited it out in the downstairs half-bathroom.  I couldn't believe the wind sounds we were hearing even in that interior room!  It was crazy!  I really thought a tornado was out there, I expected to hear crashing sounds at any moment.  I had turned the TV loud enough so that we could hear it in there, and after 15-20 minutes they were saying that it had passed us so we went back to bed.

Now they are saying we're going to get more sucky weather this afternoon and the risk of tornadoes (and strong tornadoes) is high.  Bleah.

Tornado Fashion Choices

Ok, so there was a tornado headed straight for us.  I'm home alone and kind of panicking.  I start thinking that I should change out of my tacky shorts.  If my house is involved in damage, I want to be dressed decently.  WTF?  Yes.  So I'm changing clothes trying to figure out which shirt goes better with these pants in case my house is destroyed and I wind up having to see rescuers or something.  I don't even know about myself sometimes.

We're all clear for now.  For the record, I picked a tan shirt with dark blue jeans.  I'm not that happy with it, to be honest, but I got a grip and realized I should get to the bathroom where it's safer for crying out loud.
