Suddenly Blinky Weather Icon: OH HAI THAR!
Tornado Sirens: *WHINE*
Me: ...Shit. *heads outside to have a looksee*
8:41pm
Giant Wall O' Rain: OH HAI THAR!
Me: ...Shit. *heads downstairs*
8:53pm
Radio: No more warning, kthxbai
Me: Thank God. *heads back upstairs*
So that was my night. How's yours?
(Slightly more normal summary: There was a tornado warning tonight, whee. It took me a minute to figure out what the sirens were, since it's been so long since I've heard them go off, and the first time here in this apartment. I headed out to my balcony, as any good Nebraskan will when there's a tornado warning (or to the patio, or the driveway, or...) but the amazingly strong gusts of wind and approaching wall o' rain (literally. I could see it coming) were more than I wanted to deal with while on the third floor, so I headed down to the basement. I know, I know, I probably forfeited my Nebraska citizenship for that, but oh well.)
