Huh?
Last night, our local news station broke from regular programming to keep a constant watch on the weather. They gave reports of hail and a possible tornado heading right for where we live, in the area just north of Austin. We didn't get anything but hard rain. Rain is good. We filled an entire trash can for later use!
This morning, Bradley drove Chloe into town because that's where she goes to school. It's about a half-hour drive south of here (though only 15 miles). He said there were downed tree limbs with branches and leaves all over the place. He said the adjacent parking lot, "looked like a lush green field."
I thought that was pretty wild. The news was trained on our area, showing bright pink and orange blobs, and a big, swooshing arrow pointing the direction of this "potential tornado." The girls had pooled all of their pillow and blanket resources. They even put the dog on their bed (her legs are too short for her to make the jump by herself). And everybody slept peacefully, as there was only one really loud clap of thunder, from which Bradley said he could feel the electricity. Then I told him to get back inside and stop messing around.
