the sirens went off and woke up all the dogs in the neighborhood.

2. The severe part of the storm lasted less than 15 minutes here in Grapevine |
|
It was fast moving. Did hear the tornado sirens go off for a few minutes.

4. Just hitting here with some wind and rain. I'm sure more of both are comming. |
|
We did everything we are supposed to do, put up stuff that could fly and hurt someone TV on local channel and radio ready if needed.

Open all your windows and head to a room with inside walls.

8. Opening windows is not recommended. It's an old myth. n/t |

Can I still lay in my bathtub with a mattress over me like I used to when I was little? :)

the window thing is not safe though.
I'm guessing my town was spared...my husband never texted me to tell me our house blew away. I guess that's a good thing. I'd like him alive when I arrive back in the US.
Be safe, all you folks in the path of nasty weather!

11. Fact is, I haven't done the tornado freak-out for almost 40 years |
|
Now, I just pay attention to the weather reports and hope I'm lucky. Tornadoes are evil. Hell, high winds are evil. I figure that if that's the way I'm going out, then that's the way I'm going out.

we never had tornadoes. Bad thunderstorms, for sure. I was scared to death, as a kid, of tornadoes. Who'd have thought I'd live in tornado alley? I'll be in the closet with the dogs, and my dopey husband is out taking pictures. Makes me a nervous wreck. But seriously, we sleep with the weather channel on every night if there's even a slight chance of sketchy weather. We grew up in NJ, like I mentioned, and then lived in CA...so crazy weather is not something we're entirely used to, with little warning. Hope you're well.
