About an hor ago, while watching TV this evening, the screen went blank and a big WARNING sign popped up.TORNADO WARNING FOR WASHTENAW COUNTY
This warning was accompanied by a loud annoying extended beep.
About 10 minutes ago a giant loud speaker on the roof of the school across from my house blasted a three minute long siren.
Hmmmm
I have no idea what to do.
I suppose I could climb down into the cellar outside, though I don't fancy that.
There's a violent storm front moving towards AA at 35 miles per hour.
Apparently packing winds between 60-90 miles per hour its throwing off tornadoes as it moves eastward.
The ETA for its arrival in my neck of the woods is 9:47 pm
Its now 9:15.
Apparently I can expect big hail and torrential rain.
Shame its so dark. The chances of getting any pics are slim to none.
Wish me luck

Winds of change?
Roof still on?
All very Wizard of Oz.
TR-HW
There were spiders in the cellar, no? It was still a good idea. The horn from the school is a serious public service announcement. Tornadoes form very fast and I learned to respond to their *potential*, like tsunamis. From childhood I have memories of middle-of-the-night-cellar-flashlight-spiders and daylight-cellar-I-can't-see-the-action-disappointment.
Turned out to be a bit of a letdown! There WAS pretty stupendous lightening and "thunderous" thunder, but that's about it.The sirens and alarm on the TV were a bit surreal.
Other than that it was just another thunderstorm
