What a rough 48 hours!
Sunday, I get home, and spend 2 hours glued to The Weather Channel and my local ABC affiliate, watching the weather unfold. I was dismayed to learn that Shawnee, OK, took a hit from a tornado.
Monday, I was off. The weather people had warned us for days that this would be at least a two-day event, with Round #2 coming through Monday afternoon.
I decided to take the little ones out to the local lake to do some fishing. Didn't catch much, and almost came home with three little kitties that my daughter saw. I actually saw them 20 minutes before she did, and was hoping she wouldn't. Luckily, I told her those were probably feral, and wouldn't take kindly to being girl-handled.
Went home a little before noon. I was debating whether or not to try to go fishing again, when my wife put it on the local news, and sure enough, here we go. If I was dismayed about Shawnee getting hit on Sunday, I was HORRIFIED to hear about Moore, OK, getting hit for the third time in 14 years. The first time was by an EF-4, can't remember how big the second one was, and this one maxed out at EF-5.
Today I was at work again, and we had t-storms all morning long, but they weren't strong and powerful, just some rain, which we desperately need.
My family and I are fine. My daughter was running around scared to dickens on Monday, and my wife is yet again talking about moving back to MI.
