My Phone Shrieked

Tweet

My cell phone almost gave me a heart attack. I think I had been asleep for ten minutes, but shortly after midnight my phone shrieked. Before I could look at it the tornado sirens went off. My phone was sending a tornado warning alert. While no one likes tornadoes, it's so much worse at night when you can't see it coming. I remember once my dad telling me about the time he left church, and he could see the tornado coming his way. I prefer to be able to see death coming my way instead of being surprised. The worst is when it's night and your power goes off and you can't follow the tornado coverage. I kept praying, Lord PLEASE don't let my power go out. Thankfully, it didn't. We didn't get any tornadoes, thank goodness. Two weeks ago we had tornado warnings here. October is not normally tornado weather, but I remember a couple years ago we had one in December.
