Whee! Tornado! (Part Two)

[silverthorne]

Yep, we were in the path. Yes, the sirens went off (right about the time the news guy was saying 'this storm and possible tornado will be in the Carrollton area in ten to fifteen minutes).

I'm very proud of Foot and Ula. I was able to herd them out into the living room ahead of time and then grab them both easily, and even though Foot panicked a little when she realized I was going to lock everyone in the bathroom, she didn't hiss, growl, mew, scratch, or bite. She did go hide under the bed for about twenty minutes after I let them out, but she's okay now. I think giving them treats right after I let them out helped.

Only lost power for a grand total of five minutes (three short black outs). All in all, very, very lucky, and just fine. There are several areas that got really torn up, and some of them are still without power, so...(although there's no news of anyone badly hurt or dead yet, so that's a good thing).

Folks to the east that might get it next, be careful, be safe. *hugs* I'll hope it goes past you just as fast and with minimal damage.

And now, I go to bed.

Glad you're okay! My friend called from the Irving Mall all freaked out because they weren't being allowed to leave and that the power went out and she totally scared me. I went to my bathroom with the cat and sat in the tub! I have no TV so I don't know when to panic or not. :(
