Sitting In The Closet

United States
November 20, 2023 6:56pm CST
We're under a tornado watch. Our town, just received notification to get in our safe place. We have until 7:30 to be in it. Been so long since we had rain, and when we do it with a storm and tornado warning. I hate when they come at night, so far we still have power, but that can change any moment. I got dinner prepared early in case we got hit by a storm. We did hear of a tree falling and people were trapped in a car, sure hope no one was hurt. Well, I have 36 more minutes in the closet. Glad for the rain, not the storm threat.

Can't say I blame you. We've been under a seemingly endless flood warning that's keeping my solar system's storm alert on. Which is fine, I guess. Better to be safe then sorry as annoying as it might be.

Good for you! Do you have a helmet to protect your head, too? A tornado warning was in effect for the Louisiana parish that my friends live in, but thank God it didn’t cause any damage in their area.

@RasmaSandra I don't blame you. But ours seems to come at night so we have to wait until the next day to see anything.

@popciclecold I can very well imagine. We have the warnings of hurricanes and I feel so lucky in the six years I have been here I have only witnessed heavy rain and strong wind but every time this had happened I am at the window looking out and praying to the Lord,

Yeah, when the weatherman called out the county we live in, I went in the closet. They are can be pretty accurate. But we were safe.

All a bit of a worry and a night time one must be so much worse. I am beginning to understand the need for storm cellars

Stay safe! Hopefully it will pass you by. Tornado warnings always creeps me out. We had a few this summer.
