Well, no tornado ever actually touched down, no injuries or damage. Just a lot of lightning and rain. But it was eerily beautiful!

You have the clear skies around, and just this huge gathering of clouds. The sky was purple, greenish, blackish, all that good stuff.

Even if a tornado DID touch down, it would be about a mile south of us (but they can travel fast, I know). And our house is 117 years old, with 12 inch-thick walls filled with bricks. Our basement is seems like a great place to hide.

Now, we gotta watch out for...earthquakes! They keep saying "The big one is coming" and "Not 'if', but 'when'". I'm really worried about earthquakes, but it did help that I was in a small one recently. Helped me know what's coming.
