tornado warnings

I spent 30 minutes on the floor in my bathroom last night. And I wasn't puking, thank you very much. The sirens went off, and we were under tornado warning for a while last night. Its creepy when you hear the voice saying "A tornado warning has been issued. Seek shelter now. Do not delay. Seek shelter now." On the plus side, we can definitely hear the sirens from our apartment.

I don't like when we're under warning. Not so much because I actually think we'll get hit, but because I'm not used to it and don't know quite how to respond.

Husband says "You can't outrun a tornado." Last night, he went to bed while I hid with the cats. He grew up in HI, with hurricanes and tsunamis.

I much prefer earthquakes. They are few and far between, plus there's no warning. No warning means no freaking out and hiding. Its more of Yikes! That just happened! Now let's clean it up.
