Grab a Helmet; Take Cover

I've been without Internet for a few days. Well, I should rephrase that to without stable Internet since Saturday. I was not intentionally neglecting my blog again after barely restarting it. I've been holding on to this entry since then.

When you live in a small town, there's honestly not that much excitement. The excitement that there is revolves around who had lunch with who, which is published in the local paper on a weekly basis. People also always have the weather to discuss. On Saturday, the weather brought us something to talk about alright. We were placed under three separate tornado warnings or maybe one extremely long warning.

One of our local meteorologists is like a God to the people in my town. He was the only meteorologist to track a tornado that struck in the middle of the night almost seven years ago. This tornado was potentially dangerous and this man is credited with being part of the reason no one was killed during the storm despite it striking in the middle of the night. When severe weather is in the area, everyone in the area is tuned in on their television watching this man make his prediction as to when and where the storm will strike.

Mrs. Awesome and I were gathered around the TV listening to where the storm was located. After he said there was a tornado warning he proceeds to say, "If you have a bike helmet or even a football helmet put it on." I can't help put laugh at the thought of a family lined up on the couch wearing bike helmet's ready to be blown away.
