Wild Weather

We ended up in the basement three time over the last two nights. It was wild, it's eerie when the storm sirens go off. Nothing like it back in FL. A unique Ozarks weather thing. Last night was really bad, probably all told maybe around 10-15 tornadoes when all is confirmed. We didn't have any tornadoes in the Springfield proper area, but many outlying areas and communities were hit pretty hard. It was the worst outbreak since May of 03 right before we got married.

We were under tornado warning three times and that's when we head down to the basement with as many radios and phones as possible. We had hail all three times, marble sized saturday night and up to golf ball sized last night. No major damage here besides crushed annuals (flowers) and a few very small impact dents on the car. Barely noticable.

Bethany hated every minute of it and it was all I could do to stay put and not go out and watch it. But when you hear the sirens and then the hail, it is sobering and there was a moment when I felt like, "ok we really need to get down to the basement quick". You have to be smart.

So, we're all clear and settling down.
