Remember what I said about spring?
That so far it was just dark and gloomy, not tantrumy?
Well, now it's having a tantrum. We got the sirens to go off twice today, about five minutes apart, for two different systems? DH started walking home when the first one went off and loudspeakers all over campus said to take cover. He went back to his office (uh...on the 5th floor...clearly he is not from Tornadoland, or he would have gone to the basement) and watched the circular clouds spin and threads snake down every now and then.
Currently there is no tornado warning on, but the lightning is picking up quite a bit. I think I'll be getting a weather radio next time I'm at Walmart; there is no local system for disseminating information around here, as we found out in the ice storm, and it doesn't hurt to be prepared.

We should try to meet over the border while I'm still in OK.

Oh, and I'm not sure what the closest OK town is (we're not too far from Siloam Springs, AR, which is right on the border, though)--it would be fun to meet up. When will you be moving, do you think? Or does that depend first on a destination?

I'm glad you're safe, though! Even though I love it, I have been away from it for so long, I would probably be pretty afraid of it now.
