Tom glanced at his phone and saw the time. If he left right about now, he'd barely make it to his class.
"God, I wish class were canceled today." He started to put his phone back into his pocket and make his way towards the cafe exit, when it buzzed. He looked back at the screen. He'd received an email from the campus alert system.
"Attention all students: Due to a tornado warning scheduled to last the remainder of the day, all classes are canceled. Please return to your halls and apartments and take shelter."
Tom blinked. He hadn't heard anything about a tornado warning. Hell, it was sunny when he had come into the cafe. He glanced from his phone and out the cafe window. They sky outside turned had turned slate grey. Massive droplets of rain began to splatter against the glass, and the wind howled as it buffeted the trees outside.
Come to think of it, he wondered, when was the last time this town had any kind of tornado notification?
Tom looked down the street, Nick and Angel were sprinting towards their apartment building, each carrying an umbrella that Tom hadn't noticed before. Angel's butt jiggled with each frantic step, a fact which would have aroused Tom's suspicions if it weren't busy arousing other things. He turned back towards the cafe, whose patrons were beginning to filter out. Soon, only he and a bored-looking barista remained.
"Hey man," said the barista as she returned from the back of the store with her purse slung across her plush, not-inconsiderable chest, "I'm gonna stop off in the bathroom for a bit, but then I'm closing up. I'll let you hunker down here if you want, but once I leave, you won't be able to get out." She fiddled with her chestnut hair and walked off. Tom gave her plump ass a glance before returning to his preoccupation.
