Storm

We had a bad storm that hit our place last Friday. I checked the weather that morning and I found out we were having a thunderstorm in the afternoon. I still managed to go out and went shopping in Marshall's, Famous Footwear and Target. I even bought more food that we had to bring to the concert. But when hubby came home, He said we wouldn't go since it was nasty outside. I tried calling Evelyn to tell her that we weren't going but I couldn't have the chance to talk to her since they were trying to close the Garden Center quick. I tried to call her few times till me and hubby decided to go out and get Kentucky Fried Chicken. We tried to beat the storm but we failed. After 2 minutes since we left the house, the storm hit on us. We decided to go back. It was scary since we couldn't see anything and the tornado siren was on. We didn't have a tornado but the siren was on because of the wind. It was 90mph. Imagine that. There were hails too that was about the size of the marble. We ran from the garage to our house, it just took us 30 seconds but we were soaked when we got inside the house. It was really bad. Dad called us and he said they didn't have a power and we might gonna have them on that night. We were watching the news and the concert was canceled. The storm just ended up for only 10 minutes and it caused a big damaged in Omaha. Especially on my aunt's area, they didn't have a power for 2 days.
whew, I'm glad the storm was over. It was still unbelievable. Felt like we were just dreaming but we are just glad nobody got hurt.

Tornado Warning

If it's spring time, it's expected to have a tornado in our state. Our weather is weird. But living for 4 years already, I am used to it. In fact, I like being cold. I like the feeling of cuddling & baking cookies for the two of us. Summertime is just too hot here. So humid.
We've had 2 tornado's warning lately. Good thing, it didn't hit us bad. The first one even switched direction. The second one which was last Thursday, it hit somewhere part in Omaha but not bad. It just hit Wal-Mart truck but not from our store.
We even ended up going home an hour early from work since we were so slow. I was in a hurry to go home. I made it safe. whew.
