Tornado Warning

Last weekend, we had a tornado warning and a thunderstorm warning going on at the same time. It’s odd to have a tornado in Nebraska in 小婕子的第一次好紧, but sometimes this happens when the weather is warm and a cold front pushes through, and the air is dry enough.

There’s only one radio in the house that I could think of… my daughter’s. Could we find it? Well, not till the next day. So we went to the basement and turned the TV up loud enough where we could sort of hear it.

The tornado warning was mostly right around our neighborhood, which is what sent us to the basement. Normally these things kind of freak me out, but mostly only when I am on the road driving, trying to pick up my daughter from school.

After an hour, suddenly the warning was called off. I saw a news story the next day saying that a tornado had touched down, but I’ll be darned if I can find the story now. 🙂 However, there is this nifty stormchaser blog that discusses the storm.

Living in the midwest, this is our version of severe weather. No hurricanes or earthquakes. Just tornados, mostly in June or July, but sometimes in 小婕子的第一次好紧. If you’re interested, here is our famous tornado from 1975, which went down the center of the city.
