T’was the night before Christmas and all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse…..

oh wait, wrong night. 

A couple of nights ago, we were very tired.  It was a Monday night and we were so tired that we went to bed at 8:30. We just knew we were going to get a great nights rest.  At about 10:30 I heard some wind and storm clouds.  I woke up and wanted to check the weather to see what was coming.  There was a huge storm cell in Plano, just south of us but moving North-North East.  No worries, then they said there is a tornado, okay, still now worries.  About 10 mintues later, this storm cell is in Allen, a little closer but still moving North-North East.  This cell was moving very fast.  We check the weather 1 more time, turn off the TV and go back to bed.  In the next couple of minutes we hear sirens, no, not ambulance sirens, I mean, loud sirens that make you jump 10 feet in the air.  We flip back on the TV, hear the warning from the sirens, “take cover, tornado”. SERIOUSLY?!?! We went to bed early for this? 

I come out to the hall closet, pull out some junk that we have been meaning to get upstairs and out of the way.  We then find ourselves sitting in the closet waiting to see what is going on.  Tom is busy checking things out and about 5 minutes later, gives us the okay and back to bed we go.  We were really never in any danger but when you hear those sirens, scary.

It is nice to know they work.  We come from Lubbock and they do not have these warning sirens.  All is well and it was an adventure, and of course…..we took pictures.

I am still tired….and not happy to have been woken up

Katie Lynn is not very impressed

Tom is all smiles, like always, he is always happy go lucky and he took care of Wrigley.

He also felt the need to show some school spirit. GO TECH!
