During the night @klhumpf and I spent time in the basement due to #Tornado warnings. I don’t understand people who hang out near windows waiting for the funnel and then run to the basement. It’s playing w/ danger.
@KlHumpf When I was 10 years old, I was sitting in front of a TV when a transformer blew and the TV was busted. My grandpa was on the porch. He ran inside and hustled me and Grand mato the cellar.
@KlHumpf I will never forget the sound that followed: roaring and howling that went on and on. It was a straight line wind over 80 MPH. I can still hear it in my mind today 40 years later.
@KlHumpf My terror of weather has nothing to do with #Blindness and everything to do with what happened that night. It was the most awful sound I’ve ever heard and I never wish to hear it again.
@KlHumpf Going to the basement won’t make it less likely but I am safe there and it is one thing I know I can do. I am happy to do it, even in the middle of the night.
@KlHumpf People here get upset because the siren is used for severe thunderstorms. I have experienced a thunderstorm that produced wind that can kill. #HeedTheSirens
