Sirens going off. Bother. Just hope the car survives the hail, hope the birds stay calm.... Edit: Over. Lame. Pea-size hail for, like, half a second and a sneeze of rain. The whisp'ry sirens were the worst part.
My mom actually called me last night (that's really a big deal for her.) She wanted to let me know about the severe weather in Washington County just in case it made national news (as if! - sarcasm because national news has the strangest criteria for deciding what is newsworthy.) When the sirens went off in her town, she decided to walk 1/2 a block to the hospital for better shelter. On her way there she actually saw the tornado which tore up the landscape south of town and took out one of the Junemans' houses (I don't remember which one - it was a sturdy brick farm house though.) From what she could tell there was someone trapped in the basement for a while, but no one was killed or seriously injured. It sounded like the tornado just missed the Pony Express Station (the big truckstop type gas station along Hwy 36.)
So, there was some excitement from the storm even if you didn't get any. =)
