Last night I decided to go swimming at the gym after work despite the so called "storms" heading to the area. So I was in the hot tub and all of a sudden the lights go out, people scream for fun, the tornado sirens blare, and wind hits the side of the glass near the pool area. Since the hot tub had stopped it was like I was in a warm bath. I decided I could grab the metal bar and hold on to it like the movie "Twister", but then I realized my hands were slippery and I would be taken away probably with all the glass windows, not pretty. So I went to the locker room and dried off. The locker room was like Fort Knox, even cell phones didn't work so I hung out there for a while. Alas, the storm finished and I drove home in my rental car avoiding fallen trees along the way. When I got home the power was out so I lit a bunch of candles. Unfortunately I wanted dinner and the microwave wouldn't work. I was about to cook hot dogs over a candle when the power went back on. And so life went back to normal. That is the second time in 2 weeks I have heard the tornado sirens. I hadn't heard them in the 5 years I've lived here. Go figure...
