Danger! Danger!

[Insert graphic of tornado here, preferably accompanied by a few screen captures from The Wizard of Oz.]

There was a tornado watch or warning Sunday night. I thought I saw a funnel-shaped cloud while driving to the hotel, but I dismissed it. It was drastically lower in the sky than the sheet that formed a seemless cloud ceiling across the entire sky, but it was no where near touching the ground. It freaked me out, but only for a moment. Then I got to the hotel and saw the news. I freaked back out, but again only for a moment.

There was another tornado warning/watch waiting for me when I returned to the hotel on Monday. It was much harder to miss than the previous one since this one was on every channel. Then the power went out for three and a half hours. I took a nap until the electric restoration woke me.

Nothing terrible happened on Tuesday as far as the weather is concerned.

Today we were pulled from the range for yet another tornado warning/watch. So, here I am sitting in the classroom with the rest of students waiting it out. It's been an hour already. Hoping we get an early dismissal, especially since I've already completed my range manuevers and street time for the day. I really just want the hell out of this tiny room.

I don't want to die here. Of course, I don't want to die in my hotel room either, but I would like a shower and some dry clothes at least.

Actually, I don't want to die at all. Ever. But, that should go without saying.
