And I can't say I blame her; it's uncomfortable and the weather radio makes horrible noises. Still, I'm glad we have the little basement that we do. We sheltered in it during a tornado warning for the first time yesterday and fortunately did not need to. While there was a funnel cloud just a few miles from town, in the end the closest of the many destructive tornadoes in the area touched down about twenty miles from here.
Other people in the area were not nearly so lucky. This twister was one of the smaller ones we "watched" live as we were glued to the tv yesterday. Watching the footage is all the more fascinating when one knows that the semi driver walked away.

Thanks for the update... I have been thinking of you and our other midwestern friends.

And how did Dianthus like the basement?
Dianthus was actually at daycare during the warning, so Mister Splashy Pants did not need to deal with being chased on top of being trapped with bad noises.
We were at the very front (eventually back?) end of the storms, right where they were forming, so no tornadoes had yet formed as of when it started raining here. Had we known that they were tornado storms, rather than just hail storms, when we first started watching them, we would have picked Dianthus up to have him here with us.
Scary! I'm glad you guys are okay, though poor Mr. Splashypants will probably never understand why you do such awful things to her.
Glad to hear you are all ok and that you have a basement.
