If you have been watching any news you know the Midwest has been plagued by storms. On Sunday, the City Kitty and I endured a rather small storm in the trailer and that was about as scary a storm as I would ever like to endure in a trailer, thanks. But over the last two days we have been plagued by Tornado Warnings in our area and last night, we watched the weather station as funnel cloud after funnel cloud was reported in our immediate vicinity. I stopped counting after about 8! Monday at SIU, they sounded the Tornado Alarm and all the staff was sent diving for cover in the basement. It was a small Tornado touch down and no homes were destroyed but this is a strange and rare occurrence. Lat night, Carbondale, Marion, Herrin and DeSoto all reported funnel clouds. Did I also mention the golf ball sized hail and extreme lightning?
Funnel clouds in the sky don't necessarily mean they touch ground, but the difference is only a split second so if a funnel forms above you in the sky, you had better run for cover baby! I preferred to take my chances in a solid structure as opposed to the trailer and last night, the Kitty and I hightailed it into the house for safety. Once again, we were spared any severe hits and it just skirted around us. However, two more monster cells are forming around Missouri (poor MO is getting slammed this year) and they expect this to go on for at least another month. This is the worst Tornado season in over 60 years.
Mother Nature has some major PMS!!
