Tornado Shelter

This was so right up my alley....

 There was a Tornado Watch in my area last Tuesday. News meteorologist on TV none stop during the Tornado Watch portion. At one point they said look out for 'Softball-sized' hail.  Shortly after, the sirens alarmed. This means that the Tornado Watch has turned into a Tornado Warning... you are to seek shelter immediately. 

I remember looking outside and seeing a mass exodus of neighbors,
backing out of driveways presumably going to shelters. Some have storm cellars behind and underneath their house. I am not so fortunate. Together with friends, including 2 children we got in the truck and headed to the shelter.  I remember driving through the torrential rain, in the dark, thinking it was nice calm and sunny just 10 minutes ago. It was only 5:30 pm.

Made it to the shelter fine and there were approximately 100 people there including 5 dogs. I couldn't call out so I used social media to alert family and friends that I was okay. We stayed in the shelter until the storm passed, that took about 30- 45 minutes. When we exited the shelter, I was so surprised. It was so bright calm and sunny just like it was a little over an hour, previously.

Thanks to my friends that were concerned about my well being and helped to contact my family.  :-)
While tornadoes aren't prevalent everywhere... emergencies happen quite frequently. Therefore I am asking that my friends and family be prepared because you may not have time before hand.

Please get prepared here !
