7. The beagle's still at camp, since I was at Conference Annual Mtg

until mid-afternoon. I'll pick her up tomorrow. But the cats and I are okay. Thanks!

4. stay safe

sending prayers your way

[Critters2]

8. Thank you!! We're okay. Tornado Watch until 8,

but I think the worst is over.

5. I don't quite understand it. It was windy--and it's hotter than hell--

I'm okay. I don't quite understand it. It was windy--and it's hotter than hell--but there was no active storm when the sirens went off. But I've lived in the Midwest long enough to know not to sit around analyzing. God made basements for a reason!

Everything seems fine now, though. We have a tornado watch until 8, and there are still some thunderheads around, but the wind has died down, and the sun is out. I think we're out of danger. I hope we're out of danger.

Thanks for any vibes! :hi:

10. Did the wall cloud look like this?

[Critters2]

11. Actually, it didn't look that bad out, which is why I was surprised.

But I've certainly seen clouds like that!!
