So, yeah...yesterday I was in the shower and the tornado siren goes off. Terrifying. So, I'm trying to get out and wrap a towel around me and I can hear my sister yelling, Where is she? Where's Khris?" So, I run out and try to get dressed only to find that my hands are shaking too badly to do more than pull on some pajama bottoms and an inside out backwards tshirt. So, I slide on some size too big flats my sister gave me and run out only to realize I don't know where my keys are. So I run back in, grab my keys, phone, camera and run out. I hit the porch, my hands are still shaking, and I drop my camera. Broke it.. Just got it. Whatever. We make it to my parents house and everyone is already in the garage with the storm cellar open. My parents are there, two neighbors and now me, and my sister and her husband. That's seven people. And, quite frankly, my stepfather should count as two people. Plus, a super freaked out chihuahua. So, yeah.. we wait it out. Turns north, we are spared. Figuring it's calm, we go home and chill for 45 minutes, another siren. Crap. We book it back over. Turns east. Yay!
Long story short, those tornadoes raped other parts of Oklahoma, just not where I live. I'm so grateful. They were going like 60 m/h. We could've been seriously hurt. It was terrifying.
Be loved because you are!
