Stormy Weather

Well, the skies are darkening as stormy weather approaches. Predictions are that a front containing possible severe thunderstorms and maybe even tornadoes will work its way across the state today, where a tornado watch area is already in affect in the upper western corner. The worst storms, though, could be Thursday, forecasters say. We're in for a rocky ride this week, I'm afraid.

Both days mean we need to stay alert. At least, we're better prepared this go-round. An emergency radio/flashlight combination is in the walk-in pantry, which will have to serve as our tornado shelter if the need arises. The pantry is in the center of the house, away from outside walls and windows, and should be the safest area...if there is such a thing as a safe area inside a home.

Hopefully, these storms will skirt us as the ones in the past have. But I feel better being prepared, anyway.
