I'm glad that everything is alright!! A tornado warning can be very scary!! The best thing is to know where to go in case there is one. If you have a basement then you can go to the, hmmmm......I believe it's the southeast corner. Or you can check with your neighbors and see if they have an underground basement. Just being prepared takes a lot of the scare out of it. In a worse-case senerio then you go into a small room on the lower level....one without windows, like a closet and put pillows or blankets around yourself.

My basement is above ground, and filled with dirt, smells from mold, and is certainly home to many critters I don't want to spend any time with! In the front is a little deck Steve built me, but I think I would be better off, with the dogs, in the pantry under all the junk that's piled up in there.
I do wish I had a "fraidy hole."

I always jumped in the bathroom or closet and put a mattress over me. You think you can't lift a mattress by yourself but you sure can when you are scared.

A futon mattress is PERFECT!

They do say to get into a bathtub with a mattress over you......I bet a pantry with a mattress would be just fine too!!!
Every time I've read your title about "going to Oz" I think,......Oh yay!!!! Judy's coming to Kansas!!! You know Dorothy was from Kansas!!!! |
