I live in Utah.
We don't really have these...
Tornado's, destructive storms.
Just seeing the footage of these makes me sick.
My heart breaks for the people all over the mid west.
They are being hit by these destructive storms.
They are suffering from excessive flooding.
And it is expected to continue for a few more weeks at least.
It makes my complaining about the rain seem ludicrous.
I live in a place where the fear of destruction
would likely come from earthquakes.
But do I have nightmares about earthquakes?
No.
I have nightmares about tornado's.
I have never seen one in real life.
Never personally known anyone who has been in one.
But truly, I have nightmares about them.
Have had them since I was young.
Usually it is about seeing one coming down the street
and wondering where I am going to hide.
Now it's where will I hide with my kids
Usually under the stairs.
I don't know why.
Is this even a safe place during a tornado?
Strange.
The things we dream about.
I just hope and pray for good weather across the country.
So those living my nightmare can have some peace.

You hide in an interior room that has no windows and preferably nothing that can become a projectile. I am not exaggerating when I say Warren is shopping for underground tornado shelters. I am scratching my head wondering how we will pay for the thing! I was TERRIFIED until I saw a couple. Now I am just terrified.
Jeff's parents are actually right in the middle of these in Oklahoma. They had a storm cellar dug under their third car garage right after they moved in and that is where my m-i-l and little b-i-l were hiding out (I think they had some of their neighbors with them too. My f-i-l was at the church managing the ham radio and gathering the missionaries into the baptismal font, lol.
