We had another nasty weather scare here Saturday evening.

Clouds were low and dark. Severe thunderstorms threatening tornados stretched from here to Alabama.

About 5:20 the weather strip informed us that a tornado had been sighted 7 miles south of Ferriday, next town over, traveling this way at 30 miles an hour. The warning siren began to blare.

Lucy's cage went into the hall and I started sweating. I really stink when I become afraid.

Whatever. I don't know where it touched, or where it went, but it didn't come here. I haven't seen news that it did damage locally.

I spent nearly 30 years in Texas, and never came so near these godawful things as I have twice in the past six months.
