silverthorne: (Red Storm)

No tornado (we were under warning for the last twenty minutes), although we still have strong winds and a watch until midnight. Nothing here got smushed here, although there were a few scary seconds. I grabbed Foot, coaxed Ula to follow, and wound up huddled in the bathroom for ten minutes when the core of the storm hit. Fortunately, Foot didn't try to get out of my arms (she doesn't like being carried) and although I did have to 'nudge' Ula past the door frame, she came, for the most part, under her own power. And both of them stayed huddled by me until the wind part of the storm passed, purring and letting me pet them.

Also, my slow baked chicken and potato tomorrow's lunch smell and look tasty (they're cooling now so I can pack them in the fridge). I'm trying to decide if I want turnip greens or spinach to go with it.

...my cats are very good girls.

1) Thanks. We managed to be one of the areas that only got rotation, but no actual tornados (although there were several reported touchdowns). Overall, we faired a lot better than Okalahoma City. It was a fast storm, too. We went from pretty calm to really high winds and small hail within 30 seconds, which is what prompted me to grab the kitties and go hide. ^^;

Hopefully it won't be/wasn't as bad by the time it reaches you.

2) Yeah, that's what I went for eventually. I'm craving the greens too, though, so I'll probably cook some up for dinner tonight.

Yiiikes. I hate extreme weather, this hurricane season is going to be so hard on me because I'm pretty sure we're in an evacuation zone. *wibbles*

Glad to hear that you and the kittehs are okay.
