Tornado warning

After we got to my niece’s house, everybody’s cell phone made the startling emergency warning noise… tornado warning!

In their snug home it didn’t seem that bad, so instead of taking shelter in an interior room, I stood by the window and took video of the wind. In hindsight, perhaps not the best idea.

A million people lost power, including us, but luckily we had a generator that kicks on automatically and runs off natural gas.

Once the storm passed we drove through the neighborhood and saw plenty of downed branches and water on the road. I stayed over with brother Frank, and there was less damage in his part of town.
