Atlanta turns into Kansas
As you may have heard a tornado came racing through Atlanta this past weekend. Just wanted to update you that thankfully it skipped our house, but we did get the tornado sirens, hale, crazy rain, and apparently some pretty strong winds. We don't have a basement so Heather, Roux, and I were dutifully huddled in an interior closet underneath our comforter when we heard the sirens go off. Roux was really unhappy with us. Luckily we only had to stay in there for about 10 minutes, then the storm went away. I had been through one tornado before, in high school, which destroyed my parents barn (yes we have a barn, I did grow up in Kentucky). This was Heather's first serious storm, Oregon gets some rain, but not wind, thunder, and lightening like this.

WOW! When I saw the news yesterday morning, I was thinking of you and other friends in Atlanta. Thanks for letting us know you all are safe.
Glad you guys are OK. That better not happen when I am down there!
yikes indeed. There have been at least two tornados in the Portland area - but one may be before Heather was born (1970ish) that came in over East Portland and my school but touched down in Vancouver surprising the heck out of everyone (we may flood but we don't do tornados!) and then there was another just this year skipping over a couple of houses over by Lake Vancouver. Sitting in a closet doesn't sound like a good time at all. nope.
