Wild weather

[DianaB]

Tink, we do have a storm shelter built in the corner of our basement. While my husband was out in the field taking pictures, several of us were staying pretty near the basement. Just in case.

The funny part was when we first spotted it. My husband and I were at our garden which is down the hill from the house, when my daughter pulled up to talk to us. I looked up and there the tornado was so my daughter took off for the house and my husband and I jumped in the pickup to follow her. Well, I should say that HE jumped in the pickup and I was trying!!! My legs are short and getting into the pickup is not an easy job. Anyway, I had one "cheek" on the seat and my husband in his excitement put the pickup in gear and gunned it. The pickup didn't move because the grass was wet and he was trying to go too fast in his excitement so the wheels just spun! I was finally able to get in and we got safely to the house. My husband is usually very calm and level-headed but this was one time that he really surprised me!
