Nasty Early Morning Storm

Our morning alarm is the clock radio tuned to our local country music/storm alert radio station. It came on, we laid there for a  minute, until the tornado tones they run every minute came on letting us know there was a tornado warning somewhere in the listening area. We quickly got up and looked outside to see BLACK to the north and west heading our way. We listened to the radio describing the location and direction of the storm, and it was headed pretty much for us. I called Jessica  to let them know they were even more in the path than we were. As I was talking with her on the phone, the tornado sirens in Bolivar went off! Richard and I headed to the barn, which is our “tornado shelter.” I took this video with my still camera which also has the audio from the radio station calling the warnings.

It turned out we didn’t have any more damage than some downed limbs. However, a tornado did tear up a lot of trees out near our old farm! What a way to wake up in the morning!
