Matt and I were worried last night.<br /><br />I have never really been afraid of storms, but I guess that is because I grew up in Kansas where tornadoes are a way of life. We don't have tornadoes here is Arizona but we do usually lose our power at least a couple of times a year during monsoon season. I hate losing power...apparently I think that serial killers come around during power outages. It is absolutely ridiculous but I can't help myself. :)Jessica Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10312732938976065794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2469509176316025961.post-58939556527480415842011-04-29T00:00:04.391-04:002011-04-29T00:00:04.391-04:00As many tornadoes as we've had here over the y...As many tornadoes as we've had here over the years (especially this year), you'd think I wouldn't be particularly nervous about them ... but I am. I have to "fight" with DH to get him to go down to the basement with me. <br /><br />I'm glad that you're ok ... the cars can be repaired (even though it's an aggravation). <br /><br />We have a bunny nest every spring in our yard. This year, they've built a nest in the fenced in area (where the dogs can go). We're having to take the dogs out the front on leashes because I fear they won't leave the nest alone.Kathy ... aka Nanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17626590048036292030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2469509176316025961.post-77787624803293213162011-04-28T23:17:18.312-04:002011-04-28T23:17:18.312-04:00So glad you are safe; so devastating with these st...So glad you are safe; so devastating with these storms. We rarely get storms like this here in Southern California; got some great ones in Montana but not too many attached with tornado warnings. I like a good storm if there is not devastation associated with it. When I was young and we lived in Pennsylvania, my mom's mother (my grandmother, LOL) was deadly afraid of storms and didn't like to be by herself during one. My uncle lived with her. If he was at work and my mom heard a storm in the distance, we would have to go over there to wait out the storm with my grandmother. A lot of times we had to leave fun things to go. I was only seven at the time when we moved but it stuck enough in my mind that I wouldn't be afraid of storms nor would my kids if I ever had them. We used to make storm parties, LOL to the point I think we were dangerous out there sometimes in the lightening when we shouldn't have been. But like I said, only on those storms that are beautiful to watch but don't bring death and destruction in its paths. <br /><br />I would imagine it will take a few days to get everything righted with the damage caused by the storms in your area.<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2469509176316025961.post-70310077325750204612011-04-28T21:25:52.588-04:002011-04-28T21:25:52.588-04:00So glad you're okay...we had a tornado warning...So glad you're okay...we had a tornado warning today but it never materialized, thankfully. We had a hurricaine come thru Maryland when we lived there...the wind was scary and my neighbors had a huge old tree fall across their porch and crush their car.
