Tornado

In the past couple weeks we have had some very serous storms. We had a tornado warning. We spend about 40 minutes in the bathroom waiting to be hit tonight. The tornado retreated up then touched down 1 mile west of us and hit the neighboring town of Manhattan which is about 11 mile from us. I only heard a howling noise. This tornado was reported to be a 1/4 mile wide. We are very prepared for a tornado. We have a jump bag with basic survival supplies. Then I have my CERT bag I was given since I am on the county emergency response team. I keep them easy to grab. So I started putting things in the bathroom when we heard that the tornado was in a town about 40 miles away. Put my canary is there. Gizmo my parrot refused to leave his cage to get into the pet carrier. The jerk wouldn't even get on my hand so I could take him to the bathroom. I had to chase down hercules and throw him in the bathroom. Inga and Tasha are easy they know something is wrong and follow you everywhere. So they went in with us to wait to see if we were going to be hit. We luck out this time.

This is the second time in a week that we have been under tornado warning last on we had 3 in our county. But this one came close.

After the treat had passed I went out side to look around heard a big truck going up and down neighboring streets. It was the fire dept truck. They must be looking for damage who knows.
