An hour ago, we received a tornado alert on our phones, the wind came roaring,
and the tornado sirens started blaring. That all seemed fairly short-lived,
and the wind has let up, though the rainfall is prodigious. There's usually
not a creek with waterfalls here. The basement is a bit flooded, and that
takes a LOT of water. Usually, it stays bone-dry even with a decent amount of rain.
This weather system is all over the region and beyond, so I hope everyone is
staying safe.
