Loni's Life

Oh my, the Wrath of Spring in Tornado Alley... while I am used to severe weather in spring in Texas.. I'm not used to just report after report after report of twisters on the ground. I was out of the office yesterday afternoon and spent it basically keeping an eye on the sky and the TV; checking internet radar and listening to Mocha try to escape from her crate since I had put us in hunker-down mode. It was a scary afternoon; lots of damage in various parts of the metroplex; but so far no deaths reported which is a miracle given the length of time some of the large twisters were on the ground. I checked in on the seniors to make sure they were awake and on storm watch. Also, in contact with Mama C so she would be paying attention to the weather; and finally sometime after 8:30pm the last of the peeps had checked in and was fine. Made for a long afternoon of weather-watching. My brother hauls for Home Depot deliveries. He was well south of all this mess whi...

Welcome Spring.. and Stormy weather... it's been raining for the past 12 hours and we've accumulated 4+ inches of rain. There was much more red on the radar a couple of hours ago. I keep Mama informed with posts on FB since she doesn't always pay attention to the weather; and I checked in on Aunt Tootie when BFF is out of town to make sure she is watching the weather in her area too.    We certainly need the rain; but I could do without the severe weather/tornadic activity part of it.
