Tornado Season Begins

Last night around 2 AM, a light flash woke me. I realized I'd seen lightning. Then I heard the house creak. The wind did that--at 60 mpg gusts. I glanced outside at the trees, and they looked all bent over like women drying long hair. Next thing we knew, the tornado alarm went off. Our girl grabbed her Justin Bieber pillow, and we stuffed ourselves into the downstairs coat closet until the danger passed. Today friends posted photos on Facebook of their fence post sticking out of their roof. We're grateful we have no damage here. A little too much excitement, though!
