The Storm....

So, I completely stole this photo from somewhere....I didn't take it....I did it because the photos my phone is capturing are NO WHERE near good enough to show you, or to do justice to the magnificent storm that is rolling through Indiana right now. It's really quite impressive. Until someone (namely D) says;

'ohh, oh'

And I say...

'what do you mean ohhh, oh'

'ohhh, oh isn't good'.

The last time I heard 'ohhh, oh' in relation to a storm was in Milwaukee, WI and 10 minutes later I stood in the middle of the Summerfest grounds wondering what that loud noise was and why everyone was running to the brick toilets.

See...no one ever teaches us about tornados in Australia. At least not where I grew up. All my brain does when some one mentions that word is have flashes of Dorothy and Toto....that's it. I have NO clue what to do if there is word of a possible tornado anywhere. I would be an extremely bad friend to have with you should one ever be anywhere near you....I would be the one walking around with her mouth open looking up at the pretty sky and wondering why everything just got super quiet all of a sudden. As is evidenced by my Milwaukee experience (visualize me stopping someone to ask why they are running to the toilet), I would be the one still standing outside while everyone else has jumped in the hole and locked the door.

D just text our friend Paula to tell her that we aren't leaving her house....that she will find us here when she comes home.

She will probably find me sitting looking out the window saying 'ohhhh' and 'ahhhhh' with every crack of lightening. Wide eyed and high, looking for Toto and Dorothy out there in the rain...
