When this winter weather stalls around and meets the incoming summer weather.... Ugh. I don't even have a basement right now - an unfortunate aspect of apartment living.

If you want reasons to not ever have this weather, just look up "Joplin Tornado 2011". Stuff of nightmares..... Why do I still live in tornado alley again? Lol.
We don't have a basement either, no one around here does. Unless they live on a hill and have one of those "walk in basements".

We just go to the office, which is a room in the middle of the house with no windows. Of course as soon as I'm trying to round up the animals, they all run in different directions!

This tornado warning was just so weird. Normally we have a inkling that something "may" develop. That the weather points to a possibility. Then, hours before, we have a "tornado watch".

This time? NOTHING. Straight to "Tornado warning" (meaning rotation nearby or a tornado on the ground), sirens and messages on the phone and emergency radio to "take cover now".

I was like...WHAAAAAAAAT??? At first I thought it may be a test, but then again, it was stormy outside.

This is really early into the year, I hope this is not a sign or whats to come, sigh..
