more tornados

So last night during the lost season finale there were tornado warnings for the counties next to the county I am in. Luckily we didn't get the storms till after Lost ended. At that time, our neighbor who goes to Evangel got off work and decided to come over incase the sirens go off and we decide to venture off to the first floor to see how are first floor neighbors are doing. Aimee and I didn't want to go down there alone since we have never met these people and as Aimee puts it, "we are just girls." Anyway, its 10:30 and I want to go to bed since I have to wake up early and I'm worn out. But before I do, Chad (our neighbor) comes over. I have never officially met him before. Within the first couple minutes he is inside our apartment, he breaks my siscors. Don't ask me how.... but this guy already bugs me within the first 5 minutes meeting him.

Anyway, I get in my bed and after about 15 minutes of lying there, the tornado sirens go off. So Aimee comes in and gets me and I go into the livingroom so we can decide on our action plan. We all decide that we are in agreement we don't have first floor neighbors because even the other buildings don't have the first floors filled yet and we are the newest one. So then Chad decides to say "I think we'd be just as safe by going into the most interior room of the apartment." I'm thinking "no...we'd be safer at ground level in an interior room....4th floor bathrooms are about as safe as any 4th floor room during a tornado. we will be blown away if a tornado hits the building" Of course I don't say anything because I'm really tired and anything thta comes out of my mouth will be something not nice.

So 5 of us (Aimee, Kim, Terence -Kim's boyfriend, Chad and I) go into Aimee's and my bathroom. And when I walk in I told them that there is no way we'll all fit so I walked right back into the bedroom turned on the tv and plopped back into bed. They all came out and sat down on the floor to listen to the tv. Terence goes out to the deck. We hear where all the funnel clouds and tornados are which luckily was on either side of us heading away from where we live. So we all join Terence on the deck to watch the lightning. There were crazy lightening strikes. It was fun to watch, but then it was after 11 and I wanted to sleep so I bid them all a goodnight and got back into bed praying that no more tornados come.

I'm thinking in the next week or so I am going to develop a tornado safety plan. If a tornado does hit our building, I do not want to be sitting in the bathroom of the fourth floor. No one likes to listen to me when I say that even the bathroom is not a safe place during a tornado if its not on ground level.

Let me just say, I'm tired of tornados already....we've had too many in the past week.

I would like it to get warm outside without tornados the next night or morning. Of course we are supposed to have scattered thunderstorms all day today. If a tornado does come, I'd like it to come while I'm at work so I could go to a basement instead of a 4th floor bathroom.
