I hate it when this happens

Civil defense sirens going off, severe thunderstorm, tornado watch.

Dogs are staying close, cats hiding somewhere.

Ack!

2. Belated Welcome GardeningGal!!

Sounds like you may be in for some nasty weather. Stay safe.

4. Thank you......

I think we're down to just heavy rain now. Hail went through and I can't check out the damage on the garden until it subsides.

I found out it was a tornado warning rather than a watch, but it's over with now.

8. I have a friend who moved back to CO in Feb. after living in TN

for 18 months. She was pretty glad to leave to say the least! She lives in a small town, Brush, which is an hour and a half from Denver, I think. Do you know anything about Brush? I'm thinking about taking my kids out to visit. She and her husband are planning to move to New Zealand.

9. I don't know a lot about Brush

I know it's a rural town in NE Colorado. I knew a couple years ago from Brush and they liked it. I have never been there, but found this website you might be interested in.

I wonder how they're doing after this storm.

Edited to add the link.

5. NUKE!! NUKE!!

that's what I used to yell during thunderstorms. Quick - to the bomb shelter! I handle them much better now that my mom is not around to freak me out.
I practice tornado drills with my dogs. I grab a handful of dog biscuits and they follow me to the basement.

7. Good you've got them trained!

This doesn't happen much in the part of Denver that I live in, but when it does it's pretty scary.

If I had a basement I'd do the same thing!
