I'm sitting in my closet as I type this. Why am I sitting in my closet? Because we don't have a basement. My daughter has a guy friend over and they're watching a movie in our other closet. It just feels silly, but not going in the closet or taking cover is just dumb.
We live close to where the tornado hit a few years ago. My husband and I went back to bed that night thinking we had just a little bit of rain, hail, and wind, but nothing more. When I woke up that Sunday morning, I found we were without electricity. This was unusual because all the power lines are underground where we live. The storm had passed and it was a beautiful day. The sun was shining and the sky very, very blue.
I decided to go for a milk run or was it a McDonald's run... As I drove along I began to see signs of the storm. The Apple Center near us had a parking lot full of emergency vehicles. And...what was that in the road? A refrigerator? The storm was a little more wicked than I'd thought. A tornado hit Newburgh and some of Vanderburgh County. People died. I take cover when I'm told.
