Turn on a radio or the t.v. if you can! I don't blame you for being afraid. I am deathly afraid of storms (I was in an F5 tornado when I was a little kid).

Ok we are all fine, it blew over but of course, afternoon chance of it again.

the deal at school was, they had all the buses loaded, and then right after that was severe weather alert so they had to unload and take all the kids inside for tornado proedure.
