Thanks, Dana. I was away from the computer and news all day. Had no idea about all of this until my Mom called from South Alabama to see if we'd heard anything from Emily's side of the family. That was right after the storm hit. I was just there last week. Drove right through that intersection in the video - one of the busiest in the city - on my way out of town last Thursday morning.

Hayden, glad yours are ok. PJ's friend/replacement mom's mother lost her house in Fultondale, but survived. My nephew's school is closed until power comes back.

Sounds like CJ has made it past the first step for the Arapahoe Rescue Patrol. They called him to ask his t-shirt size. The first training session isn't until later in May, so he hadn't expected to hear from them until closer to that date.

Terrifying. I'm glad people and people's people are all right.

I would stand there and film the tornado. But not from the middle of a parking lot.

But not from the middle of a parking lot.

I wouldn't do it on purpose, but if my options were parkinglot vs stuck on a highway, I'd totally sit in a parkinglot and figure out possible exits in every fucking direction.

Of course, I wouldn't be filming most likely.

OK, need to go to bed. I have 9 meetings and need to work before that.

I know it's the shallowest, most selfish response to all the storms, but I do tech support for insurance adjusters, and we're already being seriously hammered at work, and I'm really hoping that the computers of all the folks out working in all this are working perfectly.

Wow Hayden. Just Wow.

I could not film that tornado that close. I would be screaming.

Yikes, Hayden. Glad everyone is all right.

Did they use some weird antiseptic?

ita, it wasn't betadine, which I do not react to, but something they have used to replace betadine since people are allergic to the iodine in betadine.

Yoga today was good. Still not the level of challenge I'd like, but lots of long holds on poses. Lots of focus on alignment. And my abs are sore because of how we were using kidney loop.

Oh man! I'm reading Heart of Darkness right now. So good. HARD. Extremely hard. But good.

I did a yoga class that was awesome tonight. But it was not a Kat class.

What Cass Realized in Yoga - My toes are painted with Orly's It's Not Rocket Science over basically black for maximum green sparkling. My fingernails are OPI's Purple with a Purpose. If I didn't wear mostly grays and black? I would likely dress like the Joker.

Well, I'm up with the tornado sirens, woo! Bad shit is now going down in GA, in the dark. The only thing keeping me sane is the awesome twitter feed of a local meteorology student. Until he tells me to take shelter NOW I an not waking the kids.
