By the way, I'm with you, I love a good thunderstorm. As a kid, I would sit by a window and watch as the lightening would light up the backyard like it was the middle of the day.<BR/><BR/>But I was going to tell you about Friday night: I was working late to make up for time running an errand during my lunch break. I was trying to call home to let DH know why I wasn't already at home. Just then a client call came in and alarms started in the building where I work on the 24th floor. Over head security was broadcasting we were under a tornado warning and should seek shelter in the stairwells and to stay away from any windows. So here I am on the phone with a client trying to help them with a systems problem while alarms are blaring away all around me.<BR/><BR/>I finally got off the phone and went over to nbc5.com to get live coverage on the storm. The storm had just passed over Dallas and was on its way to Rockwall. After talking with DH, it was decided it was safe for me to get on the road and on my way home.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23142127.post-91376628062842950772007-04-15T18:07:00.000-05:002007-04-15T18:07:00.000-05:00I too love the exhilaration of a storm closing in ...I too love the exhilaration of a storm closing in -- with two exceptions: (1) when I'm still five miles off shore, and (2) when it's a hurricane heading my way -- I live on water!<BR/>BillDr. Bill Emenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00707755608580620460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23142127.post-52032768763872639462007-04-15T07:17:00.000-05:002007-04-15T07:17:00.000-05:00We got no hail, no tornados.

That was about 9 pm. To keep myself busy in between I cleaned my freezer. My parents are redoing their kitchen and their freezer is going in the shed. There was another small apartment size freezer in there that they brought me since mine was really old. So last night I defrosted mine and cleaned it.Christahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00309557439536380170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23142127.post-37539476945349796882007-04-14T07:51:00.000-05:002007-04-14T07:51:00.000-05:00I'm ok with storms, healthy respect and all, growi...I'm ok with storms, healthy respect and all, growing up in Ohio.

I like to count the beats between to see if I can guess how far away the storm is. We have tornados here and the sirens sometimes scream, we have no basement so I gather the kids and we stand in the hallway. It's scarey and exhilerating all at the same time. <BR/>You've made me wish that we'd get some rain here! But, um, you can keep the tornados! *g*Brandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02738504696243512495noreply@blogger.com
