49/365 - Tornado Warning

Wednesday, February 25, 2009

49-2 dated

We were getting ready to go to Moe's tonight and Dwight noticed that we were under a tornado warning.  We turned on the TV and found that they were pointing out a cell that was just a few miles down the road and that it was heading our way.  We have had several tornado watches and warnings over the years, but this was the closest we had seen on the news.  About 5 minutes before they were predicting the cell would be over us, we started gathering blankets and pillows to take to our interior bathroom.  Dwight moved the dogs to the hall, we gathered up the cats, and we all moved into the bathroom to wait it out.  We got a  lot of lightning and quarter-sized  hail.  It was quite scary and the kids were very worried, but luckily the storm passed without any tornado or damage.
