It was not just one sudden tornado warning, but several waves of severe storms, t-warnings, high winds, and flooding throughout the day and night.  Oh, and predictions of baseball-sized hail.  While I was at A’s helping to batten down the hatches, it was mostly a nice sunny day, interspersed with warnings and sirens.  The schools dismissed early.

I was feeling sick (sore throat, slight fever, head stuff) so I went home to sit out the “big one”, which fortunately mostly flew over above and beyond us, leaving lakes and rivers outside the apt and I assume in A’s yard.  “Flyover state” should mean stupid tornadoes stay at high altitudes and just pass over us!  I know, it doesn’t work that way, but c’mon.  It’s getting worse every year, for obvious reasons.  I don’t want to get used to it.
