A little present for my Ignorami friends:
Lady Liberty Bahookie!
Hope all is well with Wickey and Kerrie. Tornado warnings are something we don't deal with in NJ. I think I'd about die if someone said we had a tornado warning.

Yeah -- we usually don't get them either. I asked if I could cower under my desk, but they wouldn't let me.
I second that as GP's tag -- and reserve the right to use it if I ever need a swig of rum before lunch.
I've always said I can only imagine that's what a tornado sounds like. Hope I never hear that sound again.

You do what you have to do. That's where I was on 9/11. Didn't know what I was hearing for sure, but knew whatever it was it wasn't good, so I burrowed under my desk (along with a co-worker). Found out a few minutes later it was the sound of the first tower coming down.
SAVE THE BAHOOKIES!!!!
....huh???!!?? What??? Ohhhhh, 'SAFE"........uhhhh, nevermind.....
) and we will be lifelong friends. We even joke about it. She had the close up view of my bahookie as I burrowed under the desk. 
Now THAT is a JI-NOR-MOUS BAHOOKIE! If you don't believe me, you can ask her.
Thanks Wick. I was fortunate and definitely had a guardian angel that day. My co-worker and I have been through the trenches (or under the desk
My bahookie might have a bit of trouble fitting under a desk too. That, plus I'm not exactly flexible . . . Hermine hasn't been too bad here. The only tornado I know about was a county over. I saw one tree down yesterday on our way home from skating that was blocking the road. Lots and lots of rain. But, my dedicated dog stayed out in it all that she could to protect us from squirrels that aren't there. She let a man walk into our backyard on Monday without a peep, but dang it, those squirrels aren't going to get away with anything.
DH has suffered from Hermine. Austin has had LOTS of rain, wind, and flooding. On his way to work this morning in the dark, he hit a branch with his jeep. It was hanging low and there was no way he could see it. If it hadn't been for his roll cage, it would have been in the front seat with him. He did call 911 to let them know about it because if a large truck goes through in the dark, it will go through their windshield. As for DH's jeep, as of right now, broken windshield, bent windshield frame, and looks like the soft top needs to be replaced. He said you can see on the roll cage where it hit.
My phone rang at 6:14 this morning. I was scared he'd been in a collision. I'm happy it wasn't worse.
