Sounds like a hurricane outside, too frightened to sleep and cats are
terrified. Our tornado watch is extended to 4 AM local time. Urgently
seeking purrs from anyone who might be awake at this hour!

We had that all earlier today. It was like midnight at 3 pm. Purrs en
route. Nasty string of storms.
