Hey! Last night while the boys were at TCDTS, Steve and I were sitting in the living room. We knew a storm was coming and all of a sudden the tornado sirens started going off.
Steve jumped up and started putting on his shoes and he got down to TCDTS in I bet 30 seconds. He helped get all the kids filed into a safe room then called me. He told me that one of the guys from the church saw a funnel cloud. So I ran and got our important papers, hand-held weather radio and my cell phone and wrapped up in a blanket in the bathtub till the sirens stopped and Steve called and gave me the all clear.
Pretty nerve-wracking!
*yikes*
keep yer head down
When you get that bit of land, you’re gonna have to build yourself a ‘safe room’. When my sister and her husband were living in Tulsa several years ago, they were looking at houses, and the Realtor called them ‘fraidy rooms’. I can certainly see the wisdom in having one! If I were building one, I’d make the walls of it out of insulated concrete forms, either tied into the slab with rebar, if it’s new construction, or connected by strong bolts to an existing slab.
Heh. If a tornado comes while I’m asleep, I’m pretty much SOL.
