I'm going to hell...for reals.


ok so, I know I am going there, but seriously Indiana TOTALLY stole our thunder. literally! (and figuratively)

I have been freaking out about this since day one (ok calm down family, it was like 10 miles away, but SERIOUSLY 10 miles is a lot closer than the 1700 it was before).

But there was a FREAKIN'; tornado this evening!!!! In the suburbs!!! In the southwest suburbs...just south east of our house by, like I said, about 10-15 miles.

So a little info on tornadoes. The sky will be really dark and green, and it will sound like a train (that is what they say)

So Cas and I were watching TV and there are warnings all over the place. It is like 85 degrees and raining with thunder and lightening and all that stuff. So I am freaking out (less so now, because I have a gin and tonic--which was necessary).

But I digress....

There is now this TINY article online about our tornado, and all you can see now on the news is the stupid massive flooding in Indiana. *ugh*. More flooding, but nothing about our DEVASTATION?!?! ok, or a couple lost roofs, and maybe an injury, but people this is HUGE for me!

I can't even describe what it is like outside. It was dark at about 4pm, and the clouds are just flying by. We have the A/c on inside and it is about 75 in here, but outside it is close to 90 and it is SO humid that the outside of all our windows have fogged up...which is odd cause in the winter it was the opposite...but here are some photos...you can't really tell that much, but totally fogged up. And I can't even describe how eerie it feels outside. Now it is all calm and still and heavy (the air is so thick, but our tornado warning ended at 8..so I guess we are ok)
