Tornado Warning


The other day, my son was home alone and the weather turned nasty. I wasn't able to get home for a while, and I was worried about him. He called and said that there was a lot of hail coming down. I heard a tornado warning on the radio about our area. Luckily, his father came home soon after things turned ugly--they took cover in the basement and the storm passed quickly. I was relieved when they called and said that things were much calmer about an hour later. Still, it is a scary thing to know a loved one may be in danger and there is nothing you can do--I felt helpless. I am glad my husband came home early and was there to protect my son if things had been worse. I did NOT like the feeling of worrying and not being able to do anything about it. Later, the news coverage showed tornado damage about 15 or 20 miles from our house. No one was hurt, but there were some damaged homes. All I can say is--WHEW! I am glad we dodged that bullet!
