Varying Shades of Gray - My Life

07-09-03

Had some major storms in the area last night. Several tornadoes in the county and other neighboring counties. Straightline winds with gusts up to 90mph. Heavy rain, sveral of the meteorologists describes it as "hurricane type rain". A very large rotating wall cloud rolled directly over downtown. The tornadoes sirens were going. I took the precautions of placing my cats in their carriers, ready to take cover, just in case. The huge dog track here, lost it's roof, and it flew into the parking lot, damaging cars, some majorly. Several cars were totally destroyed. It also caused a gas leak there, which they quickly got under control. Power lines were down everywhere. I kept my power though, thank goodness. Luckliy, in the immediate area, theye weren't any major injuries from the storm. A few very minor ones, from flying debris. I'm not about elsewhere, I haven't heard of any, yet.

After it was over JC called to see how things were here and to make sure I wasn't out chasing the storms. Since I had promised him I wouldn't do that, I didn't. He was doing great. Since he was at work, we didn't get a chance to talk long.

JMC. He lost his home in a tornado in '93, when he was only 8yo. He had been doing so well, about not being so petrified of storms. Until last night. I guess his manager sent him home since he was having a tremendous panic attack. JW followed him to make sure he was okay. JW then stopped by to tell me what had happened. I went over to check on him and he was petrified. I had not seen him that traumatized in a long time. I just sat and laid with him until he finally managed to go to sleep. I ended up staying with him all night.

Got word from DA, that BOH is doing okay, and just has been busy. That's why I haven't seen him online as much. I'm glad that he's okay, but I still miss him so much. Hopefully we'll get to chat soon. He hasn't been online in the evenings, after I get home. I guess my timing needs to be adjusted. LOL. I wish i could do that, so easily. :(

Well gotta go so will close this one for now. Have a great day, all.
