Thanks! You too!

I forgot to tell you that Friday evening, we were sitting here watching TV and PW was in the office, working when the tornado sirens started wailing. FS and I just sat here, doing what we were doing and she came out all panicky and wondered why we were “just sitting.”

Me: Which way is SW?
PW: (Pointed to kitchen corner.)
Me: That’s the direction tornados come from, so we’re safer here. Come and join us.

I don’t think she was happy that I didn’t flap when she expected me to. But ohwell! Get used to it!

As it turned out, the funnel cloud didn’t touch down, so all was well. We lived in MO for three years and I’d been through all that when FS was in his early teens. But tornados are rare here. It was on the heels of TS Pamela.

Good morning. Once you move to your new place, you could find out if there’s a tornado shelter nearby. County Emergency Services might know, or the police department.
