It stormed here, too. I was standing outside after class staring at the lightning (because...you know...getting electricuted is fun. ) and my mom called and was all "if you're outside you need to get in because we're under a severe thunderstorm warning."
Having storm spotters for parents can sometimes be a good thing.
We've had worse. Last spring there was this one storm that went through and produced like 3 tornadoes. My parents were the ones that made the call to set the sirens off. I was forced to hide in a church bathroom with a class of 12 three year olds.
