The weather channel has been predicting thunderstorms for a large area of the country for a couple days now. I woke up to a really ugly day outside. It was raining and dark looking outside so I checked the weather channel again. Sure enough, one area where we have family and friends is at Def Con 6, which means a 60% chance of tornadoes developing. That puts several people that I love in jeopardy....Bratfink, Mustachio, Buttmunch, Marcus and family plus an assortment of friends and a cousin or two. WE are only at Def Con 3 but we are in an area known to have tornadoes almost every year since we moved here. They have been specifically saying Birmingham and Atlanta and we are in between those two cities in the direction that the storm will be moving.
Of course, the movement is more in a northerly direction so I'm not as worried about the Princess or Cee being affected but Tara sure could be. I hope she keeps her ears open for the sirens and/or weather reports. There's more warning these days than there was a few years ago but it's only about 13-15 minutes instead of the 3-5 minutes that used to be the norm. Trust me, I won't be doing a whole lot of sleeping since they are saying the possibility is that we could be affected while it is still dark outside tomorrow morning. **Crossing fingers**
I worry enough for everyone and I am hoping that no one is hurt or worse by the storms that will be coming through the areas involved. Say a little prayer, please.
Other than the dog begging to be let out in the rain all day long, it was a quiet day except for thundering at times. We just spent the day watching the weather and checking the weather channel from time-to-time. The Beast is still in a lot of pain so I suspect he does have a cracked rib or two. He's having a hard time using his left arm if it is holding anything that has any weight to it. He's just going to have to be careful for a while so he doesn't make it any worse.
I have to go take my shower now while it's quiet outside. No thunder or lightning to worry about. I was considering putting street clothes on in case we have to make a run for the safe room at Dennis and Diane's but nixed that idea because I can't sleep in them. I've opened up my window a bit so I can hear the sirens in case they go off.
Love you all. Be good. Stay safe and dry. ***Hugs***
