Several years ago I was visiting my sister-in-law, Lisa, in Indianapolis. There were sirens, news reports, & a crazy storm & my very calm sister-in-law told me there was nothing to worry about. Being the BIG storm baby that I am I was not all that convinced.
Yesterday Jamison left with Brandon for baseball and ended up coming home about 15 minutes later due to a raging lightening & rain. About 10 minutes later the power went out, the post tornadoes went off, & the rain came down SIDEWARD.
Being the BIG storm baby that I am I decided to take the kids, dog, a futon mattress, the radio, and my laptop into the interior bathroom. For the next 30 minutes the kids, dog & I waited for the tornado warning to pass under the mattress.
When I was done I asked Jamison if he is trying to tell me something. He has taken me to SC, home of the hurricanes, DC, one of the most dangerous cities in America, and now to the midwest for the total tornado experience. I jokingly told him that I was going to home to live with my mother. There are no tornadoes in Rochester, NY. =)
The pictures are from the Belleville News paper. The tornado did, in fact, touch down in 4 places around Scott AFB & Mascoutah.
