A weather radio.

Now THAT is the perfect gift for a weather geek. (I’m in the ranks.)

We had one of those weird storms go through here (Minneapolis) last week too. There weren’t even any watches or warnings out. And all of a sudden — sirens.

It makes it real when it touches down in such a familiar area, doesn’t it?

Man, the second day of school canceled for tornado clean-up? Who would have thought? SO GLAD you four were out of harm’s way, and that things are getting back to normal.

wow, crazy. i love storms but they are never quite as exciting down here in wv. i remember being laughed at in the teacher’s lounge when i questioned why we didn’t have tornado drills… we did in PA, and they only get small tornados and microbursts and such.

How you described is how it was here in the spring – greenish sky, calm, heavy rain then it stopped, eery. Our town was hit by an EF-4 tornado on Good Friday. I was at work about 25 minutes away, watching it on the local channel’s website. At one point the rotations were shown above us, above our sitter’s house and our house. It was definitely a day of prayer! We were blessed that day that we were all fine. It is amazing how a community comes together in the aftermath. My sister-in-law is from Chesterton so I had heard about this. I hope the recovery efforts go well!

So glad all we have to worry about are blizzards! Glad you are safe.

It was a little on the scary side. But, except for the green sky, we didn’t know we were supposed to be scared. Which, is what makes it scary in retrospect.

So glad no one was seriously hurt. And that school was out for the day and there were not 900 middle schoolers in that building when it hit.

Wow, scary! We had a Tornado hit several parts of Ontario yesterday. A little boy was killed which was very sad. Several homes were destroyed in the Toronto area. We live in the Northern part of Ontario so weren’t affected, thank goodness!

Oh my goodness, look at that damage. It could’ve been SO much worse but I’m so thankful seemingly no one was hurt. So scary! *hugs*
