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.

Oh wow, stay safe. I just got back from a 2 hour soccer game in the pouring rain but I didn't have worry about sirens warning about lift off winds. Good luck with it.

Oh, today we just have the pouring rain. I can deal with rain (although I prefer not to play soccer in it!) It's the blowing away I don't like.
