Tornado!

... So we had a tornado warning over The 'Ville last night ...

There were no reports of a touchdown, and the sirens never sounded. But it sure was exciting watching the menacing clouds roll in from my second floor windows as the meteorologists tracked the storm on local TV.

Then, once the worst of it had passed, the sky let loose with rain ... which it's done every morning for what has seemed like weeks. Every morning I've been awakened by thunder and lightning.

I do enjoy a good summer rain storm every once in awhile ... But I'm ready for it to stop.

Ironically, I also was reading about the infamous Barneveld tornado of '84 last night. With my curiosity piqued, I ventured onto YouTube ...

And found this oldie from 1967. Riveting.
