Thunderstorms

I just love thunderstorms. We had a good one last night, but no tornados. I personally dont want my house blown away, but there is something so exciting about the sirens going off and having to take cover in the basement. I dont want anyone elses house blown away either, but I would like to see one someday. I like it when the power goes out and the kids get all freaked out. ( me too I like being freaked out too) Im not sure why, the really big thunderstorms are cool too with all the lightning and wind. I like it when on all the channel the weather people are breaking in with the picture of the radar on the screen. I even go to the computer and check out the radar. I found a really good site that gives several options of maps and nexrad radar and stuff http://www.intellicast.com . I have lived here in the midwest all my life and have never seen a tornado, they have passed close and sirens have gone off but thats about it.
One of my lawnchairs were in the pool this morning and some small limbs were down but thats about all we got last night.
Im not in a flood prone area either, I really dont want to witness a flood.
I think Im going to try to get up early and garden tomorrow, I think I said that yesterday and the day before that.
I stay up too late and then Im lazy in the morning, but I have been working on redecorating some stuff in the family room. Im making an entertainment area. Im painting the tv cabinet and some bookcases my Grandaddy made all white and Im going to put them all together. I think it will look super-cool
Real soon Id like to finally fix up my doll-room.
We have been in this house for a year now and Ive done hardly anything with it.
I did get part of the carpet ripped up in the living room and so that is just another project that will take a while. Im sporadic in my energy spent on such things.
I love summer and sunshine also.

I love storms too. I've lived in the midwest my whole life (even in Warrensburg aka Tornado City for awhile), yet I too have never actually seen a tornado. I'd like too, though. Just for the adrenaline rush. Storms are so cool, when the thunder and lightening is really going strong, and the rain is pouring.

You should check out my friend Bunnyservant's blog (http://bunnyservant.blogspot.com/). She's crazy about storms too. She and her husband have a weather radio going all the time, which I think would be awesome except my parents wouldn't like it. She and I talk every time there is a storm. We both talk about how we "could've been" meteorologists.

Maybe someday I will learn enough about storms so that I can safely be a storm chaser. That would be totally cool. Then I'll take you with me and we'll hunt down a tornado!
