![]() ![]() We had several power lines down, many large tree limbs down, and fences blown over. We were fortunate that our street was not impacted too badly. Plus, you’re supposed to leave windows a little open during a tornado to keep them from blowing out during the changing air pressure. By the time it dawned on me, we could hear the wind and rain really whipping around and Hubs told me not to be foolish, just stay in the basement, we can mop up any water afterwards. I had them open really far that day too because as mentioned earlier, it had been very humid and I was trying to catch any little bit of breeze. OK, this is the real deal, we decided, and we headed down to our basement to take cover.Īnd maybe because we were still only half awake, or because realizing a tornado is nearby kind of rattles your nerves, we never lowered any of our windows. ![]() And then the civil service tornado sirens starting blaring too. ![]() What the heck? I rubbed my eyes and grabbed my phone to find an alert message saying there was a rotation in the clouds, probably a tornado, spotted a little southwest of us, moving toward our city, take cover. a perfect day for a nap.īut shortly into our nap we were rudely awakened by the loud noise of my phone weather app alert going off. It was a cloudy day with a gentle rain falling. Hubs and I had a little Saturday lunch, then we both sat down to read our books and promptly dozed off. On that particular day it really didn’t seem like tornado weather aside from the fact that it was super duper humid. There were several strong windy rains for us this summer that left my windows spotted but the event that really made a mess of my windows was a small tornado that went through our neighborhood a few weeks ago. This fall there was one item in particular that was in desperate need of my cleaning attention – my windows. ![]()
