Tornado?


Well I can't sleep! I just had the whole family in the bathroom downstairs hiding from a tornado(?) while we listened to hail hit our house.
I started hearing the hail and wondering if the windows were going to blow in. The last time I wondered if the wind was going to blow the windows in, I let the boys stay in their beds. It was the night before Luke's tonsil surgery. I didn't want to wake him up. On the way to the hospital at 4 am the next morning, we had to dodge all the bricks and trees in the road. That was the last tornado that came through Allen.
So, as you might think, I decided that if I actually think the windows are going to blow in, I'm at least going to check the weather channel's website. I have a quick link that has our zip code in it and there was a red banner across the page telling about the tornado warning and to seek shelter.
That's how we ended up downstairs in the bathroom. We'll know more what actually happened in the morning, but right now I'm listening to two little boys babble themselves back to sleep.
