(OT) More Tornados....

I hate it when I have to stay awake till the watch is over. This one's on
until 1:00 AM. The sirens in this town are not loud enough to wake me. I
need to get a NOAA weather radio that can be set to sound alarm when a
tornado warning is issued. Also need to cut a trap door in the floor so I
can get to the basement from inside the house, and move the cats down there
as well. It's simply too damp to sleep down there.

Tornado safety purrs once again are hereby solicited. Bad lightning storm in
progress at the moment.

They passed here earlier. Purrs that it ends up being uneventful. The
wind was wicked. Someone lost a roof on the edge of town. However, I
had carriers out, bag with all Pearls meds and cat food (and my meds)
ready to go so I figured it would be OK. I figure if I get things all
ready I'll never need to use them. So far it works.

Purrs en route. I realize this won't help you if the power goes out. But
don't they issue tornado warnings over the TV? Perhaps you could use
that in the mean time until you get a weather radio. Or is that only in
the movies?

Here, the television breaks in with loud annoying tones when there is a
Warning (as opposed to a Watch) issued. We're supposed to get some of that
stuff through here tomorrow. Purrs for Pat's nerves and safety.

Set the basement up so you can sleep in it during a Tornado watch

Yuck, I grew up in Indiana and my school was destroyed by a tornado
when I was in third grade. Many understanding and safety purrs for you
and yours!

Purrs on the way, though I expect that storm is over by now, purrs to stay
safe for the season.

Purrs that the watch wasn't extended and you got to sleep.

We had lots of thunder and lightning yesterday about sunup. I learned
that I now have two that are afraid of lightning. When the storm
started I knew Sammy would be scared, so I went and got in bed where
she was hiding under the covers. I've written about her fear before.
I'm not so sure she's really afraid anymore, as soon I get in bed she
starts to purr. After awhile I realised Spotty hadn't followed me to
bed. Usually she hops up on the bed right after I get in bed and
settles down and goes to sleep. So I went looking for her and found
her hiding in the bathtub from the storm. When she realised I had
found her hiding plce she came out and followed me to bed, but at the
next thunderboom she went back to the tub - not a bad thing really, as
they tell us that one of the safer places to take shelter. Little Bit,
who panics if it starts to rain when she's in the OUT, doesn't mind
storms in the least when she's safely inside watching through the
window. She seems to enjoy watching the light show, though she will go
into hiding if it starts to hail.
