You know it’s gonna be an interesting day when you open the paper (this is the online version, of course) and one of the headlines reads: Heavy weather headed our way. Uh-oh. THAT can’t be good. :no:

We’ve decided to carpool in The Guv today. Poor Buick. I hope he doesn’t get beat to death by hail. He’s taken us so many places…but we can’t risk having our other cars damaged. We’re still paying for them and will be for a long time to come.

I had a feeling this spring would be more volatile than most weather-wise. We had a mild winter, so you know something’s going to happen before too long. We live in what’s known as Tornado Alley, but so far Abilene has dodged a bullet. We’ve had sightings in the past, but it’s never been a major ordeal. I think we’ve fallen into complacency, which is never a good thing. The warning system we had, the tornado sirens, are a thing of the past and have been for years. They were old and in need of repair and the City didn’t feel the need to continue using them.

I hope that doesn’t come back to bite us.  :ass:
