Tornado Warning
A couple of Sundays ago at 9:00AM the Huntley Tornado Warning Alarm went through a practice run. It was LOUD. I was reminded of the air-raid sirens that used to go off once a month in Santa Ana when I was a kid (back in the cold war days). It does not quite sound the same, though. And there is a blaring loud speaker that said 'This is only a test...' so I didn't think much of it.
That is until we heard it last night. For real. The weather was really bad, thunder, lightning, high winds, lots of rain. And, aparently, funnel clouds. Yippee! We grabbed the animals and headed for the basement for an hour or so until the warning expired. Nothing else happened but it was certainly an interesting experience.
