Do you have something in particular to put over your head, Meg! Stay safe! This is the time of year for tornadoes to strike anywhere! And I think those hard thunderstorms are pretty bad also!
Grab the mattress was the old recommendation..I can’t do that so I have a thick King sized comforter and pillows.., a wind up flashlight and battery radio at the ready..I have only contemplated using it once in this house..I ut my mother in her hall alcove covered once..It was straight line winds that night..eerie sound..Big trees were pulled out by the roots and some tree tops were broken like matchsticks..No damage at her house but her neighbors got hit.
I see 3 raccoons at the door..Dinner time.
