I guess I should say we've survived March and April with very few tornadoes. However, it appears that tonight may be a very different story. They are calling for multiple, large, long lasting tornadoes, winds up to 80 mph, baseball size hail, etc. This is normal for our part of the country.

I have our survival kit ready, which consists of my daughter's gallon size baggie of all of her various heart medications. That's it, pretty much. Oh, and socks and tennis shoes. Something about a tornado warning, just makes me want to have on socks and tennis shoes. Not flip flops. Not sandals. Not boots. Just good 'ol socks and tennis shoes. Don't want my feet to get all wet and slippery. Need to be ready to run, you know, just in case....

I don't usually stress over this stuff. Growing up in this state, it's just a normal springtime occurrence. I have seen several tornadoes in my lifetime. Not fun. No, not at all. But, the good Lord has spared me and mine, thus far. I am thankful for that.
