First Trip To The Storm Cellar

*update-it IS a wall cloud, it has been confirmed by a storm spotter.

We just came back up, but I suspect a new warning will be issued at some point before this night is over. Glad I cleaned out the storm cellar, but it still has a dirt floor, cobwebs, etc.

Danny did great-he's in charge of flashlights and the weather radio. Mr. Eat The Blog is...and I say this with love, a complete idiot. He's driving home while there are warnings all around southern Lancaster county where he works. They just reported 128 MPH straight line winds to the south of where he works. As I said, I love him, but he's an idiot.

We still have power, but it just started getting windy again and raining. Looking out the window, I see what to my un-trained eye sure as hell looks like a developing wall cloud. I dunno, I think I'm headed back down-I gotta trust my gut on this stuff.

I guess Danny's right-asparagus brings tornadoes. Last time I made asparagus there was a tornado and today I made some and well, look at the weather report.
