Sweet Catastrophe

We’re supposedly in for some crazy weather in a bit. I think at this point they’ve tallied 54 deaths in the tornadoes that hit Tennessee, Kentucky, Mississippi, Arkansas and Alabama yesterday. I think Missouri was barely missed by a few so all those Branson rentals are safe.

In my last class, one of my classmates told us that they were letting people at the base (Moody Air Force Base) go home–that generally lends to the idea that we may be looking at some serious weather here.

I got smart when I walked back to the apartment. I pulled in all the metal chairs and everything outside. If nothing else we’re almost guaranteed storms and severe wind. I don’t think anyone parked out front wants to find a chair smashed through their car window tomorrow.

I actually don’t mind bad weather, I just hope we don’t sustain any major damages. I’m planning on shutting the computer down if we start getting significant lightning.

I am a little concerned about Ryan though. He’ll be on the road between here and Tallahassee pretty soon and I don’t really like that. At least he won’t be alone…
