If this is any indication, we will have flowers a plenty next month.
This evening we had our first big Spring storm of the season. It freaked me out quite a bit. We didn't have too much rain at the house, but we did have hail - I'm going to say it was about the size of a quarter. It looked pretty funny plopping down into the pool :) There was a lot of rain in other areas though. Then the tornado sirens starting going off .... that's when I got scared. The kitty dude ran under the couch and the radar on the TV and Internet was purple right smack dab over the top of the house! The TV was reporting rotation in the clouds and tornado sightings in the area so I grabbed the laptop, phone, a couple of blankets and both kitties (Hubby's working tonight) and set up camp in the 1/2 bathroom downstairs. I kept the TV on so I could hear it and continued to watch radars on several weather sites. After about 15 minutes or so - and with some confirmation from a friend i'd been IM'ing with - I took a chance and came out. The kitties were quite uncomfortable in the close proximity and it was hot in that little room. After we came out and watched the weather on TV they did say there were a few confirmed tornado touchdowns, not reallllllly near to the house but close enough for my taste! I did hear that there was some damage around town and a couple of injuries but I don't think any of them were too serious.
So, we survived the first of several lovely Spring storms for the year that are famous here in North Texas. Yay! At least we got it over with ... and nice timing. Friday the 13th.
