So last night around 6 or so, started hearing thunder. Checked the forecast - just plain thunderstorms. Then.. it started getting louder around 6:30 so I checked again and .. .nice .. Tornado WARNING - which means a tornado has been sighted in several areas, Flower Mound being one of them, and we should be seeking shelter. I decided we needed to get out of our second story apartment and go to my husband's parent's house. :D It was NASTY outside, but I was pretty sure it was behind us.

Spent an hour in a closet until the warning time was up. Power went out during that time and when we returned home we found the same thing ... no power. It's been out since at least 7pm last night. Then it stormed allll night and I mean,the worst lightening and thunder I've ever seen... from 11pm to 7:30am - yes, it just cleared up as I'm sitting here in McDonald's taking advantage of their so called free wifi... cost me $3. 9.9

I will ink the rest of the week's comics, but I doubt our power's coming on anytime soon. :( We watched on the news last night before the power went out as transformers were being blown one after another in the area and saw the lights flicker and go out repeatedly, so they have a LOT of work to do. Trees were down, huge limbs, signs were torn off stores,.. and I notice one road is closed to the public less than half a mile away from where we live. 0.0 That's where the tornado touched down. I'm glad that we didn't stay where we were ... because it would've been far scarier than where we were.

Kim ended up sleeping on the floor next to our bed and we were thankful for the cool breeze that the storm brought. ... otherwise it would've been really miserable. From here, I'm off to Wal-mart to buy a bag of ice if I can find one so I can at least save the milk for breakfast tomorrow. :( And a flashlight... we don't have any flashlights :P

Unfortunately, since I can't cook and I didn't have ANY money budgetted for eating out and it's likely everything in the fridge and freezer are now going to spoil, I'm now in the 'need donations' area! Any little bit would help out right now. I likely won't be logging back in until we have electricity - my laptop is half drained right now. :( MAYBE from the library if it extends for more than another day. You can donate via the donation page!
