TORNADO

Late Saturday, or rather early Sunday, a tornado hit down right near our apartment complex.  Both Jeremy and I were fast asleep when I woke up to a strange noise as well as my cell phone ringing. I quickly jumped (literally) out of bed realizing it was the tornado sirens!  The person calling my phone was a co-worker from Red Robin that knew how nervous I was about the crazy weather. Anyways, after sleepily trying to get dressed and turn on the tv (and convincing Jeremy to wake up and get up too) we realized there had been a tornado spotted in our area. The sirens turned off after about 5 minutes, but came back on about 15 minutes later.   So despite the sirens going off a couple of times we never went to the shelter, but we were being cautious and ready if needed.  The storm moved quickly passed us and thankfully never did any damage to our apartment complex - however, I stayed up watching the news for another few hours just to make sure :)  On the news I found out that a tornado hit a neighborhood about fifty blocks away - but did some damage to areas ALL around us...
