~BAD Storm !~

Do you see my fence? We had a tornado close by, VERY

close by. 3 miles away. There are branches down all over my

yard, in the street and everywhere. I was talking to a friend

when I noticed how dark it was, it was after I posted last nite.

I looked at the time, looked out the window and told my friend,

"this doesn't look good". I then went to the website for weather

here and the radar, as I clicked on it, it said a tornado had

been sighted, there was rotation and to seek cover immediately.

While I was talking to my friend my phone rang and it was my

boy, Donnie. He says, "Gran, theres a bad storm coming at ya,

it just went thru here, its bad, but it doesn't last long". We talked

for a minute and I said bye to him and my other friend and sat

and looked out the window. It was so windy and rainy that I

couldn't even see out of it..

There wasn't a thing I could do. I did go into the hallway that

goes into the bathroom, but I couldn't keep the boys by me,

and It was scarey, let me tell ya. I sat there and thought of

that huge basement down stairs and I cant get to it. This is

not good. When I was at the apartment I kept the cat carrier

in the bathroom and when we had storms I would go in there,

and they follow me where ever I go, I would close the door

and we waited in there. Here I have no where really to go

that's away from windows or an outside wall..Theres nothing

I can do...I know I couldn't get down those steps..I just don't

think I could do it..let alone have enough time to get down

there. I would have to fall out of my chair, I don't know how

else to get out of it. I don't do like those young women do on

You Tube that jump up and down into their chairs or hoist

themselves up and down stairs.. Maybe if I was in my 30's

I probly could do it too.. I cant now..all I would need to do is

hit the floor the wrong way and break a hip or something.. I

guess if it came to a choice of getting ate up in a tornado

or dying falling down the steps..which would be the worse?

Im so stuck :-D....
Of course when I look out the window with a camera the

boy has to be right there as well.. They both were really

scared last nite though. and they did stick kinda close to

me. Usually Dutch is not vocal.well where you can really

hear him..his vocal cords are not developed or something,

cuz he squeaks when he meows...sometimes he opens

his mouth and nothing comes out even! But last nite he did

meow when he looked up at me.. What do you tell a cat?

But its amazing that they do sense things...

At least this storm is cooling off the temperatures.. It was so

hot in here those past few days. It was awful.. I have NO choice

but to get a airconditioner.. It got up over 100 last year during

the summer. I would cook in here with it that hot outside. Cant

even open the windows in that kind of heat as its just mixing

hot air. I am hoping that I can get a new refrigerator with a

freezer then sell this small one. I turned that ceiling fan on and

LB ran like he was being shot at he was so scared. Then he

hides and meows while he is in the sink. I cant do that to him.
Penny said her sis has a small clip on fan that I can borrow until

I can get an air conditioner..That wont scare LB. I think its the

shadows and the blades going around over his head that

scares him, so I have to be fair, he lives here too. I am going to

call my brother in law too and ask Chris when he comes by

about the broken fence. He said he had a whole tree go down

ontop of one of his houses.. It was bad last nite..Scared me...

All three of us were scaredy cats last nite. Im glad I hadnt had

time to eat anything , by the time it was all done I had no appetite

for sure! so THAT was a good thing, helps on the diet. Eating

and going to bed is not a good thing to do..I try not to eat heavy

at night then sleep on it, I don't sleep real well.. I learned the hard

way about drinking a whole can of ice tea before bed also.. I

had an ok lunch from coa was sausage, cabbage, potatoes and

of course bloomin CARROTS... I dug them out. the rest of it

was really good. So I don't need a lot tonite, I have some good

peanut butter crackers, might be just enough.. My very famous

GORGEOUS WEEBLE words, as usual.."Nitey Nite".. :-)

Y'all have a good one now Y'hear? love ya..and THANKS! :-)

Always, Lois ****

God Bless you is my prayer today,

I'm so honored to call you "friend";

I pray the Lord will keep you safe

until I write again..
