They just sounded our tornado sirens, so I'm in my basement, hiding from the big scary windy stuff.

My mother, however, is insisting that the tornadoes wont hit her, so she's upstairs, sitting in her chair, watching the storm on tv...and kvetching about there not being anything on except for the weatherguy's. Oy vey!

It's really stressful when my mom gets all weird and thinks that tornadoes wont get her.

So far, the tornado, according to the weatherguy, is about 12 miles from us, so I'm not that worried yet, but this storm has dropped a couple of twisters already, and the storm is getting bigger, so I really hope we can get my mom to come downstairs eventually. Now I know where my nieces get their oppositionally defiant disorder from.
