Just got a tornado warning, and the direction seems pretty close to our home....
 
SO WHAT DO I DO....put my watch on, close my purse, have my cell phone nearby.....and get out the cat crate
 
LOL....I t old my husband he would never get me out of this house w/o my cat.....
 
He thinks this being a frame house we would be best outside in a ditch, HUHHHHHH.....I'm from NY remember.....LOL
 
 
LOL...Meowzer just climbed in the crate.......
 
we have so many trees around we would probably never see it coming
 
 
wish us luck.....

Good luck but it's probably nothing. I have been under alot of tornado warnings through my life and haven't met one yet. Think positive.

Be safe. No basement, internal room in the house, preferably with no windows. Oh an open you windows a bit to help equalize the pressure inside and out. If you already know those things I'm sorry for being captain obvious.

If you have a crawl space under the house that might be an idea. I'd be digging a cellar of some kind. It also gives you a place the bury the bodies when people dare annoy you.

You're getting the remnants of Tropical Storm Hermine. That system has been hanging over my house for the last two days. The eye of the storm actually passed right over us. I've had to empty my rain gauge twice now. I think I've recorded over 12 inches of rain in the past 48 hours. We're still getting the tailend trains as we speak. Fortunately, we didn't experience any tornados. Good luck and stay hunkered down. By the looks of the system on radar, you're in for a good soaking.

I only got about 5 inches... Tornado warning? That should be old hat. Heck in north texas tornado warnings meant everyone would go outside and look for it.
