Twister in paradise, OH MY!

How to tell a twister is
approaching 101

• Strangers call you Dorothy and complement you on your lovely red shoes at home depot


• You ask your husband why the lighting strike you just saw left a funny smoke cone in the sky, he says it's a water spout and you think, "cool".


• You wonder why all those birds are flying in circles and are sparkling in the distance
• Your kid calls you and says " there is a tornado warning in the county", you husband laughs and says, "there are no tornados here". They didn't give tornado warnings on XM radio.

• Your kid calls back and says, "I can see the f&*%^n tornado down the street", then the phone cuts out......




• Husband says, "he is such a drama queen, there are no tornados here"




• You drive back by the area you just left 10 minutes ago and the street is littered with roof tiles from the house that it blew off of.




• The street light poles are leaning at a 90 degree angle

We are still in denial as we drive home through the driving rain. As we get closer to the house, the sky is clear and sunny. There is a distant green tinge to the sky where we came from. We find the boy a little freaked out (the boy is 24), but safe and sound. The cable is out, but we have power.

We were definately blessed!!! The hubby has reluctantly agreed that it probably was a tornado, because I am always right. (I finally got him trained after 27 years)
