Tornado Warning!

So today as I was sitting watching tv and folding laundry (how very domestic of me) and all at once the tv, my phone and Michael's phone all started flashing the emergency alert buzzer. "Warning Tornado in your area take shelter immediately. This is not a test." or something like that. 
Let me tell you I was shocked! It was raining this morning, but it was partly sunny last time I was outside. Oh dear! I have only ONCE ever lived through a tornado warning. Im from California for crying out loud! We don't get no stinking tornadoes. Last time was in Ohio, we were on the top floor of the hotel, and our AC unit was struck by lightning.  I did NOT SLEEP WELL that night. 

So today when I get a phone alert telling me that my actual HOME was possibly in the path of a real life tornado??? NOT cool. The worst part was that our Pup was at daycare, also possibly in the path of a tornado, and we couldn't leave to go get her! 
After a long afternoon of watching the news, watching the tornado danger pass us by, lightning that I honestly think struck our parking lot in front of our building, and rain like you would NOT believe! Finally it cleared up enough for us to drive out to get the pup and come home. The poor daycare workers, oh boy! the dogs were going NUTS! When Penny came out she acted like I had been gone for a week. Poor pup. she got in the car said high to Michael very excitedly, then fell asleep hard core in  the back seat and has slept straight through to dinner, then straight through to bed time. One Pooped Pup.


The red, flashy part in the middle is where we live. 




Penny realizing that it is raining out,,, maybe she doesn't want to go out after all.
