Had a little unwanted visitor come by yesterday afternoon. They’re calling it an F3, and it came within a couple miles of my house. I was home alone at the time. I had the tv on, and knew it was coming this way. Got a tornado warning email, and just as I was trying to decide whether I should go to underground shelter or not, the power went out. I tried to text my husband to ask him how bad it was going to get, but I lost phone service. The wind was so strong, I wasn’t sure if I could even open the door on my car, so I ended up riding out the storm with the cats. I really couldn’t imagine leaving them, anyway, and I don’t believe pets are allowed at the shelter. I had no idea how close this thing was, which is a good thing. I’m sure I would have panicked. Whew. I’m still a bit shaken up, especially when I see photos of it like this. It destroyed two homes, but luckily no one was badly injured. It’s going to continue storming until Monday.
