Tornado, freaking me out!


Ok, when I moved to Texas, no one told me there is a tornado season. So one night Chris and I are sitting in our apt watching TV and I hear a siren. Chris is like ok, you might want to go put on some jeans and a jacket just in case. And I'm like, just in case what? So he explains to me the tornado sirens and tornado season. Fun, right? So I get a little used to the sirens and the tornado warnings on TV. Well one night I woke up at 4am because our apt building was shaking like crazy because of the wind and rain. I am freaking out because we live on the fourth floor and I'm thinking the building is going to fall down. I look out the window and I can't see anything because there is so much rain. I shake Chris to get him up and he's not very good at being alert in the night. So I'm like telling him I think there's really something wrong like there's really a tornado out there. He looks out the window and it kindof died down a little. So we go back to sleep. The next morning we get up and low and behold there were tornados all over the place and one actually hit our apt community. The pics above are of a staircase that came off the wall on a building close to ours. Thank goodness that was the last of the tornado scares for this tornado season.
