Stormy Night

Last night we got up to a tornado siren going off. Usually the tornado siren goes off when there has been a tornado spotted in our county. Earlier last night there were tornado warnings for some other counties. The wind was blowing really hard and I could hear things outside getting knocked down. I woke up Mike and told him I thought that the torando siren was going off. I went to turn the tv on but the power was out. That's when I got really scared and thought with all of the bad weather recently it would be our luck to have a tornado. I haven't been that scared in a long time. I was ready to get stuff for Noelle ready and get her so that we could go to a safer place. Mike decided to call his parents and see if they knew what was going on. They had power and said that they had put the tornado sirens on to warn people of the 60 to 70 mile per hour winds that were coming with the storm, but that there was no tornado. Thank goodness! I was still a little shaken up but after a while I was able to go back to sleep. I have always loved stormy weather, especially thunderstorms, but after last night I think that might change. It made me realize how powerful nature is and how insignificant we are. I am glad that we were safe and that nothing happened.
