Well, last night was eventful. I got to bed around 2. Well, I start dreaming (or think I am) and I hear what sounds like people in the next apartment building screaming at each other. I realized much later it was my family yelling. There was also this really loud whoosing noise. Well, my dad bursts in to my room (I wake up) and says "Grab the dog and get downstairs, tornado". I jumped up, pulled on my shorts, grabbed my phone, and then picked up Corky and ran my ass to the basement. That whooshing noise? Definitely 80 mph winds. Yeah, fuckin' tornado came through. Well, after it was gone, went back to sleep. When I woke up like 20 minutes ago, I decided to go check out the damage. We lost a few shingles from our roof, one of the corner panels is missing from our chimney, and the gutter on the back corner of our house is broken. By broken I mean one part got thrown off and is in my neighbor's yard while the rest got bent over. So, we could potentially fix it by just lifting it back up. However, I do need to go out back and see what kind of damage we suffered out there. And I need to find my dad's yard furniture, since I couldn't see it before I went back to bed.
