it has been a wild couple of days around here. whipping wind, hail, cold temperatures (well, ok, cold for us), rain, thunder, lightning, and then this yesterday…
WHAT??? I was watching fox news (i’m a total news junkie) when the national weather service interrupted the broadcast and gave us a tornado warning! They kept saying get to your basement and I’m thinking…”hello! this is CA…we don’t have basements!!”
poor little Andy was in hysterics. I didn’t even know that he knew what a tornado was…but apparently so.
he kept screaming “we’re going to get sucked up!! we’re going to get sucked up!!” it was slightly amusing —
poor little guy. so i got on the internet to research the signs of a tornado only find that we had experienced three of the five. while i was reading it everything all of a sudden went dead calm. no more wind, no more rain. it was wierd. it was sign number 4. GREAT!
needless to say we didn’t have any trouble, but some of our neighbors up a little bit north of us right by John’s office did see this real live twister. it did minimal damage and no one was hurt…but how WILD!! we’re supposed to have earthquakes, not tornadoes!! we’re in for more crazy weather as the biggest of the storms moves in today and tomorrow…we’ll see what that brings.
hope you are having a great day!
