We came up out of the basement a while ago. It is such a pain in the a$$. I have to round up 2 kids, 2 dogs, 2 cats, and 2 birds. Then it's like I'm packing for the beach, I swear. I need my purse, dayplanner, cell phone, shoes, kids asthma meds...if there is a tornado, it will have come and gone by the time I get everything together!:shock:
Fortunately, I don't think tonight was as bad as last weekend, where there was quite a bit of damage around town.
RO- Bdarg gave me a weather radio for my birthday a few years ago. It went off once in the middle of the night, and about scared me to death. The next day, I ripped the batteries out of it and put it in one of the many junk drawers, where it probably won't be seen again until we move.
