The weather sirens suddenly started blasting their message, take cover, a tornado is coming. Chicagoland had been under a severe weather advisory and even a tornado watch, but that happens on a regular basis. Once the sirens start, however, the only thing to do is run for the basement, cell phone in one hand and flash light in the other.So there we sat, in the southwest corner of the basement, waiting for the roof to be pulled off. Will it ruin the flowers? Will the closed blinds keep the window glass from flying about? Should I have grabbed my purse?
After a radar update from far away Arlington, VA., and a quick glance outside, time to head back upstairs. High winds blew several small branches onto the ground --- maybe 25 --- but the sky had changed from greenish grey to blue and another storm had moved east. Watch out Dulles, VA.
