This is the first time I've seen tornado threats persist in such a sustained state. This has been days of threats and warnings.

The weather prognosticators do not mask their disappointment very well when things don't spin up to a tornado.

We just had two pass through our area after 11pm. One of them spun up really quickly and traveled a while. One hotel destroyed. Damage in various parts of the city. Still monitoring severe weather at 12:30am. I should go to bed. The real threat has passed.

We have church members scattered all over the Metro area and the outskirts, so I always have someone to worry about. So far, all are safe.

What cracks me up are the people who seem to desperately want it to be them. It might pass miles from where they are, but to hear them tell it, it was right on the front porch. Garners lots of pity and attention. Meanwhile, someone, somewhere is literally picking up the pieces of their lives.

I should go to bed, but this is too much fun.
