...and Toto too!

Thought I'd share some thoughts with you while I wait out the Tornado sirens in my basement. The dogs came with me, but God love her, the cat just wasn't having it. Chances of death by tornado here are slim. I am far more concerned about the trees falling into the house or flash flooding. Still, I'm a bit of a wuss when it comes to these threats. I am always the precautious one, while everyone else celebrates with a beer on the porch, waiting for Dorothy, I'd prefer a flashlight and some bottled water in a bunker. I figure the one time I really give in to my storm chaser desires I'll actually end up whisked away and dropped dead somewhere in Greenland.

Funny, I suppose, is the truth that my personality is by nature cautious, yet extremely curious. For instance, I'd love to be the one traveling INTO Louisiana for a hurricane party. But you better have a great view AND an open road out before it all goes to hell. Speaking off, my yard, a very nice double lot, looks like the dead marshes. I would describe it as a Category 5 crapstorm.

No sirens for a couple minutes, guess it's time to head back upstairs. If I see a funnel cloud I'll let you know.
