First Warning!

First tornado warning. The rain this evening was more like a waterfall. Little streams were forming on the grass. We were invited to dinner by some neighbors, as we walked over the sky was turning black and there was a lot of lightning. We had just heard on the news about a tornado warning. I was freaking out. Two minutes after we got to the neighbors was when the rain started. It was so amazing to watch. It was great and ominous. We sat and watched it out the front window while listening to the radio broadcast. I couldn't believe how dark it was and how everything seemed to be tinted turquoise. I am glad we were with people who have lived here and knew how to "handle" the situation and calm my tornado fears. I thought for sure my reoccurring tornado nightmares were going to come true. All is well though, it rained really hard and then by the time we had to go home to get the kids in bed it had let up. There is still a lot of lightning and thunder going on. So one down, I wonder how many more of these we will experience!
