It's date night. Sitter all lined up. Troy came home early. We were ready to go.
Sitting in the living room, waiting for the sitter, we notice the wind in the backyard trees. A look out the window and we see the storm brewing!
Turn on the TV and we see severe thunderstorm warning until 11pm. Go outside to take a look and hear the tornado sirens. Sitter calls to tell us traffic lights are out, tree branches falling into roads and raining so hard she can't even see the road.
A closer listen to the TV tells us the tornado watch is in effect, (means sighted when the sirens are blaring), 70 mph winds, hail and a really good storm. The Emergency Management system for our town even called with a recorded message to stay home, stay indoors, away from windows, blah, blah, blah.
Needless to say, date night cancelled for tonight. I'm gonna have a talk with Mother Nature....storms like this cannot happen on date night in the future!
We ended up having a nice evening at home anyways!

Scary!
