Tornadoes

I dunno if you knew, but this weekend was kinda scary. Friday night we (Harry and I) stayed up late watching a movie so it ended around 12ish. We were ready to go to sleep when we heard the tornado alarm. For the first time I was really scared

My goodness. I am so glad you're alright, Any.

Don't you just love living in the Midwest?

Ha! I miss my Hurricanes. =o(

Heh. Hurricanes are no better than tornadoes, so I wouldn't say that if I were you. :3

No, you can prepare for a hurricane. It gives you at least a day of warning, and I've been in a couple, and they are not that devastating as a tornado unless is a cat. 5.

Tornadoes, you just get an alarm and brace yourself. Well, it depends you know? I grew up in the coast, used to hurricanes...and I guess you are more prepared in case of tornadoes, I guess they even teach you all that stuff at school.

It's creepy isn't it? My earliest memory is a night when like 20+ tornadoes hit my home town in Indiana. I can actually remember sitting in our basement with the oil lamps since there was no power and hearing the tornadoes going past. IT was really eerie and I was only like 4 but I Can recall it very vividly. Scary stuff.

Glad you guys are ok and nothing bad happened.

Oh God, I don't think I can ever get used to that. Must have been an awful experience!
Seriously, I miss my Hurricanes!

I'm glad you and your family were all right. Storms like that are scary, especially that last one, although I admit I mostly slept through it. Mostly. Northwest Ohio can have some pretty nasty storms. A lot of people don't realize this, but we are part of Tornado Alley. It's just that Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas, and Nebraska are more known for twisters. If you're up for a history lesson, you should look into how the Xenia, Ohio tornado helped Dr. Fujita develop his infamous scale and discover down drafts and micro-bursts. It's actually pretty interesting!
