Tornado Time

We spent a good portion of last evening in our basement as our area was pummeled with heavy rain and tornadoes. At first, the kids were pretty frightened when the town siren began to wail but we ate snacks and played games while we listened to the radio. They decided it was fun hanging out in the basement.

Apparently, there was a tornado that touched down not too far from here but didn't do any damage. There were 35 tornadoes in all here in Minnesota last night and 3 deaths. There were some crazy looking clouds hanging around for quite some time.

Thankfully, my garden and flowers are still intact. The sun is shining today.

I think we'll go swimming.
