Wow. We had a severe thunderstorm going on here....it started out quite neat, actually. The sky would look like one of those postcards you have probably seen with the lightning flashing perfectly in a dark sky. gentle rain, subtle thunder. Then, things sure picked up fast. I was sitting with seb trying to get him to sleep when the phone rang. It was my brother calling to tell me to take shelter bc they had reported winds at 100 mph about 2 miles from here. So, i wake Jeremy up, turn on the tv and we decided to wake Makenneh to be ready for taking cover. And nothing happened. Well, nothing tragic or exciting or scary. It seemed to pass us by which is quite alright with me, bc i don't know how much shelter you can take in a single wide mobile home, full of clutter and furniture, bursting at the seems. But, hey. Finally got the kids back to sleep and shortly thereafter, the lightning became intense, cracking as it hit things, thunder booming like crazy, rain pouring so hard, my floors were about flooded from open windows (too warm to shut the place up completely). Absolutely crazy. They did extend tornado warning til 6am. great, im supposed to sleep with a tornado warning lurking til the morning. I love storms, but when they hit that close to home, with such great intensity, eh, i have to rethink that. LOL. right now it is calm and quiet. THen i can't help but wonder if it's the calm before the real storm. As long as i don't lose power, i will be happy. hahahah. How's that for concern? Obviously i don't want a tornado or anything equally scary.
Anyway, just had to post that. It was quite a riot around here for a little bit. Hopefully all is well in the morning.

Aren't we sitting ducks in these darn mobile homes? There is a ditch close to here, but I can't imagine running out in the middle of a storm, to jump into a ditch full of water to have a storm just pass us over!
Anyway, I'm glad you are safe and sound! We only had a watch until 6 am and that was enough for me.
