severe weather night

We had tornado watch #3 - nine months into living in GA - tonight. This was not in the advertisements for beautiful Georgia. I don't think we ever had a warning in NC; I recall one in Cincinnati once and I was terrified then, too. And at least there I lived in a brick building with a basement.

We seem to have evolved into big booming thunderstorms now; there's a tornado warning maybe 15 miles south right now but the storms are running pretty dead west to east. Casper managed to fall asleep about 30 seconds after an enormous crack of thunder. Before that we talked about how even if lightning stuck our house we would probably be safe (I think that's true, anyway), and if something happened to our house we would go next door to S.'s house and call 911, and S.'s family would let us sleep there if our house was destroyed, and I explained insurance. And then we talked about mummies and vegetarianism. The wide variety always amuses me!

I was thinking about y'all. I just got rain and enough thunder to send the dog under the desk.

Ack! I hope nothing gets closer than a warning!
