15. Nope. We were told to hunker down, so we're hunkering. |
|
No rain yet, but winds are picking up fast. Gonna be a long night, but I'll be home (I hope!) when it's over.

Nearest cell is moving away from us.
But a funnel cloud was just sighted right by our old house.

Lifelong resident. We know to listen to sirens. And the ones in my hood are silent. But we can hear the ones about 5 miles from here.
News just said F1 tornados. Not bad.
Glad you like me. I like you too. :hi:

I was just in KC last week. My boyfriend and I were there visiting his hometown. I was visiting for the first time. I really liked it, but tornadoes..... I don't think I could ever get used to them.

At least we get a warning when a tornado is coming.

22. That's actually exactly what my BF said |
|
He finds the idea of an Earthquake terrifying, and I have exactly the opposite reaction (earthquakes are a surprising nuisance, but tornadoes are the bad ones).

20. I prefer no warning, to sitting and waiting... |
|
but that's just me. I lived in LA and now split time between OK and Mexico...tornado season always makes me a nervous wreck.
Good luck up there. From what my hubby says, Oklahoma has been getting a ton of rain with more on the way.
