Whereas in my family, when there were funnels a ridge line over in Jefferson county and the county sirens were going off, half of us were on the deck, watching... The sane half had dog on a leash, cats corralled and kids ready to hit basement. That was the woman my brother married. Who grew up with tornados.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
My mom always sent me, my brother, and the dog to the basement and she would go stand on the porch. I'd have been there with her given the chance.

yeah, I am lying in the hall with the pets. I should go get the dog's leash, good call.
no funnels spotted that I have heard, I should maybe turn on a news stream.

If warning sirens go off I move to the bedroom where there are no windows (if I'm not already in there), but I've been living in tornado country far too long and been on the highway during too many passing storm fronts to be very worried. I've been outside and looked up to see clouds spinning as they passed over my house.

Glad you are okay, msbelle.
I still have to bake cookies. Who made this terrible plan? But, to look on the bright side, now I know the whole of Grasping the Bird's Tail and the beginning of Bagua Fish, maybe I can practice some when the cookies are in the oven..

In the oven. Tired. Waking up at 5:30 9s gonna suck. And yet, I am confident that figuring out how to carry these cookies in to the office will go better tomorrow morning than if I try to resolve it tonight.

Well, those did not hold their shape at all. Oh well, they are still, presumably, cookies and edible, so whatever.

Oo, I know that one! But not Bagua Fish. We are learning different forms. I want to do Tai Chi with you some time so we can teach each other the different versions

Glad all went OK, msbelle.
I'm waiting for a ping, it may be a while.
