Tornado Warning and Mom's panic

Haha, yeah, I'm so glad that the worst part is over.

Before the worst part is over, I was sitting upstair and watching large size tv and eating dinner. Mom finished before I do and she went down stair. Mom came up and told me that I needed to go downstair ASAP becasue there's a storm-a-coming and possible tornado. Dreading by the facts, my fave tv shows are on TONIGHT! Yeah, it's Stargate time! Ugh, So, I went ahead and recording and pray to "mother's nature" please don't knock the power off. Please don't knock the power off. I went downstair and watching mini-tv weather news. I sat there and mom encourage me to get batteries and radio to put in the bathroom. So, I did. I even gather up couple towels and bathrobes. I quickly gave Reese dog food so she can have something to eat and take her outside for few moments. Somehow Reese knows the weather changed. She's being cautious and sniffing in the air. She walk around cautious as she toward to my house. She's knows somethings going on outside. It's dark and cloudy.

Meanwhile, I took Reese inside the bathroom and mom took T-T in the laundry room. Those 2 specical places have no windows and very little mirror. (Laundry room doesn't have mirror). Mom opened small window in the winery room. Mom can hear serin as well she can hear the tornado. Mom told me she had heard tornado sound before. It's sound like a strong and loud roaring and sound very much like train. I thought that was very interesting. Hailing cames in. Mom just jumped up and down and kept saying "listen, listen, listen." I was like... I can't understand the tv. Of course, my mom asked me to turn off the closed caption because it is blocking the view of warning different cities/counties. So, I just sat there and not really listening. Mom kept saying, "when I said, "go" and that means "go". No asking questions and etc. Just go to the bathroom." She said that quite a few times. I told her, "I got it!" Geez, mom!

Suddenly, mom heard siren sound and quicky grab me to the bathroom. Reese is already in the bathroom. Mom have her pillow and I have mine. I grab two towels. One for Reese and one for me. My mom have 2 robes next to her so I know she'll grab it when she needs it. Mom said there's a hail and siren sound. It was like 2 minutes. Time doesn't seem like forever. That was it. It's over... well, sorta. There's more a-coming according to weather but barely passing over us.

At the end, we saw full arch of rainbow. Yes from one side to other side. It's huge and very strongly clearly to see. It's beautiful. In fact, there's 2 rainbows, we watch until they fade away.

Finally, I was able to go upstair, missing the begining of Stargate but that's okay. At least, it is recording and thanks to Mother's Nature that didn't knock the power off. I was able to watch it and fast forward of those commericals. haha

Meanwhile, the medciation did pretty good. My toe seem a lot less numb. It's still there but not so badly as it used to be. *sigh* One thing is that I'm not looking forward to go to work tomorrow (Saturday).

Oh well, at least, I'm earning some money and like my mom mention that few times, it is something for me to do. She's right.
