Tornado Tornado Tornado!

It's tornado season. How do I know? There was a tornado everyday for the past 5 days. It starts with dark skies in the morning. 7:30 in the morning I wake up and get ready to leave. I have to go to court to observe. Everything's ok, we're inside. But the entire time the room, coated completely in wood, sounds as if it's going to collapse. I'm not surprised anymore when I find out it's stormy outside and the house, being old, is probably shifting naturally from the extreme winds. When we leave around 11:30 the rain stopped but it was dark skies still. Heading back to school in the car we know it's going to be a rough day. It gets darker and darker when finally, when I get out it starts to pour like you've never seen. (no, I kid, Hong Kong is just as bad if not worse.)


The tornado goes crazy. It rips apart the airport here and everything... Now, the airport is closed for two days because of the destruction. You had me worried there about my flight back home there, tornado. Tz tz. And this has been going on for days. Today we wanted to go to a state park but couldn't because of fear of having to drive back in a tornado. Of all things, that's what I want to avoid. So we decided to stay in and just do something in the evening. Now it's evening and it's so grey and gross outside that we can't go to the museum we wanted to go to because it has an outside section we wanted to have fun with and even the drive there might be dangerous later on tonight. So now, really, we're staying put in my place and watching Jumaji and Betelgeuse. Pretty epic still though. 



Let's hope there's no more tornadoes. Now that the airport is destroyed the next big thing is the stadium and then the universities....
