Tonight my county - Williamson County - was issued a tornado warning that is supposed to end in about 10 minutes. (Update: The tornado warning was extended from 8:30 to 9:00 now. And the hail must be really bad because it sounds like someone is walking in my attic). The sky is all lit up with lightening and thunder is shaking the house. Dobe has been pacing nervously and I brought in all the plants and other loose objects from the patio. The only thing I didn't bring in was the grill. Here's hoping.
Mike is at the movies for a work-sponsored event, and I am worried about him getting in his car to drive home without turning on his phone and checking my text messages and without knowing anything about what the weather is doing. I'm keeping a very watchful eye on the color of the sky - I think it turns green before a tornado hits and you hear something that sounds like a train whistle. Right now all I hear is thunder and rain/hail. If anything else happens, Dobe and I head for the closet. Storms are fun. Tornados are not. It would be much better if Mike was here, or if I could at least rely on him to turn his phone on. He is not usually good at remembering to do those things.
Yeah, the lights just flickered. I'm totally stressing. Dobe is laying by the bedroom door waiting for Mike to come in...I wish he would come sit by me!! =)
Everyone stay safe out there!
8:54pm Update: I believe the worst of the storm has passed me, but Mike is probably in the thick of it. I am thanking God that he decided to turn his phone on in the middle of the movie and saw my text messages. Whatever convinced him to do that?? He knows to stay put until after the storm passes.
