Tornadoes and MORE Tornadoes

I was getting ready to leave my shift at 2:30 and the tornado siren goes off. Our siren is across the street, belongs to the facility. Sounds just like an air raid siren.

My first words out of my mouth were "Dammit!"

Yes, when the occasion hits I will curse.

So we were herded out like buffalo into the hallway to wait it out. Half an hour later we were released...I was high tailing it out of there when we were held up again so I waited in my car for the front gate to open.

The thunder, lightening and rain was torrential to say the least.

I wonder how much more of this weather I can take.

Time to build an arc!
