Tornado warnings! I did kind of hang out in the basement for about an hour after hearing that.<br /><br />There were some funnel clouds just outside of the city and one actually touched down so... they knew what they were predicting..... now if they could just figure out when it is going to hail so I don't take the car out of the garage at the most inappropriate time!BumbleVeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13272892605379537233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2156503381597757077.post-16298584923298733622010-07-23T12:36:04.754-04:002010-07-23T12:36:04.754-04:00Oh Lord, I hope this isn't going to be a trend...Oh Lord, I hope this isn't going to be a trend here.

One night we watched in horror as an unannounced tornado came barreling down on our house - our kids asleep upstairs and no time to even run up and fetch them. Thankfully it hopped right over our house - pulled up the roof on the barn as it went over - but left the roof and us in one piece. It was like the roof was breathing in and out. The tornado hopped across some fields and really tore up a tennis club. <br /><br />If we had had the time to do anything all we could do was run for a big ditch across the driveway - and that didn't seem very safe - so we stood in horror for those few seconds it took for the tornado to pass. Not long after that we moved back to our wonderful California - no tornados there - at least not so far.JoAnn ( Scene Through My Eyes)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12621061028973446378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2156503381597757077.post-21818607802158169832010-07-23T09:49:39.373-04:002010-07-23T09:49:39.373-04:00Those darn tornadoes are scary as heck.

Our half basement can only be gotten to by going outside.. SO ---we huddled in our interior closet... Luckily, like you, nothing happened. BUT--others weren't so lucky. <br /><br />Glad you are okay...<br />Hugs,<br />BetsyBetsy Banks Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16223591156634767330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2156503381597757077.post-69956191679446124732010-07-23T09:27:47.668-04:002010-07-23T09:27:47.668-04:00Oh my God!!

My husband and I both looked at each other, laughed, and said at the same time "DITCH?" What the? We were watching Charlie Lopresti on Channel 13 and he kept apologizing, every so many minute,s for taking the viewers away from their regulary scheduled programming! I was driving my son to Mercy hospital during the rain storm before the tornadoes struck and that was nuts! I could barely see to drive. Great post!! I am glad you and your family are ok.

So excited you might think that they actually want us to have a tornado. So glad that you were safe. Those pictures show what a big storm can do. We got 4 inches of rain...no bad storm.Balishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17298193443371503407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2156503381597757077.post-29225505951393779872010-07-22T20:16:45.648-04:002010-07-22T20:16:45.648-04:00I'm so glad to hear you are okay.
