There was a tornado warning.

I grabbed my kindle and Finn, ran down the stairs, grabbed Moonpie and the kids, headed to the basement. The warning was specifically for the North Shore, yikes, so I didn't make a trip up to rescue the cats, but happily, there was no tornado.

Once the warning cleared... there was another warning. I had no sooner gotten up to the landing when we all headed back down again. Poor Moonpie was panting, she was so scared :(

But again, no tornado, so we're all fine. Honestly, I knew something was up when I walked outside an hour earlier - I kept walking first through weirdly warm and muggy patches of air, then through weirdly cold and clammy patches of air.

I don't think a tornado actually formed around here, but the storm was super violent, and lots of the Island got hail.

Sounds like telling people to stay in was a good thing, then. Except for that one guy in shorts. There is always that one guy in shorts, standing around outside when the weather is not fit for man nor beast.

Fuck that guy.

No thanks. Sort of like a parent going "don't put that in your mouth, you don't know where its been" only more so.

He's got some great survival skills, though, maybe they're heritable?

[spikethemuffin]

Yup. He's never around when it's lovely out. I doubt his stated motivations.
