Surviving the Storm

The fact that I live in tornado alley has never really bothered me. I have had some pretty darn close calls when it comes to tornado's. Yesterday I can add that to my list of close calls.

The day started out like any other day, the weather looked....normal in all aspects. I had to work at Macy's so I was pretty sad that I would not be able to go out and enjoy the gorgeous weather and the carnival that was in town.
By the time I got off of work I was pretty pooped, at that point, they sky was ominous...yea I used Ominous. There really isn't any other word to explain the sky. You could see the the wall clouds moving in and the radio was screeching something about golf ball sized hail. I stopped by Platos closet really quick, grabbed my items and got my arse home.

1 block away from home, I thought "i refuse to let rain ruin my night", so i decided to go to walmart. Not even 15 minutes into my shopping venture, the hail began, and I don't mean baby hail, I mean HOLY SHIT hail. Amongst all the hail sounds I hear the tornado sirens, I heard them just in time for the walmart worker to come running into my aisle and direct me toward the back of the store. All i could think was, come on people its a normal tornado warning, I was wrong. Sure as shit there was a tornado on the ground.

After 2 Long hot hours and one cranky Jina later, I was able to leave walmart. 7 tornado's touched down in Kansas last night. A real night of the twisters.

WELCOME TO TORNADO ALLEY is what the sign to Kansas should say

I really wish my old storm chasing buddy could have been there with me last night
