Take Cover

We have been having terrible weather here lately. We received not one, but two tornado warning phone calls tonight from bcalert. The first call, we'd been watching the weather (Joplin, MO tornado hit earlier tonight). The storm, with rotation & funnels, were getting pretty close to us. So we had shoes on, & bike helmets & had kids taking cover in bathtub. Mattress from Steph's bed was propped up in bathroom & we even practiced once getting under & hanging on to mattress. Our Dish Network went out (of course), but Chris got a live streaming up on my laptop so we did have coverage. Second call of night was after we were in bed sleeping. Chris's mom called just before the bcalert call. We got the tv on & had a signal. The cell that was worrisome started moving south of us, so we took a chance & didn't wake the kids up.
