Tornadoes are Scary

Well, yesterday was a very exciting day. Around 3:30 it started raining really hard and the satellite went out. Then it started to hail pea size hail. I knew my mom was on her way home from work too, so I was worried about her. Then the TV came back on, but they were announcing that all people between W Mansfield HWY and HWY 287 south of 1-20 should take cover immediately. They said it was a serious situation and that a tornado had been spotted in that area. If you know where I live, you know that meant ME! I was freaking out, I had to get Autumn in the closet fast. I called Mike on my cell phone and talked to him the whole time. I heard the tornado sirens going off. Autumn thought it was fun hanging out in the closet. I did NOT! Anyway, the storm passed very quickly and I eventually calmed down. Apparently, the funnel and rotation never touched the ground. The weather man reminded me that this is the first of many afternoon storms in the Texas springtime. Today though it is absolutely beautiful outside!
