There was a huge streak of storms that stretched from Oklahoma all the way up to Topeka that came through last night. There were mighty winds (up to seventy mile per hour gusts), heavy rain, and some tornado sightings (nowhere near us, don't worry).
By the time the storm came through Wichita, the tornado watch had been reduced to a severe thunderstorm watch. The local news station was advising people to seek shelter in the lower level of the house or in storm shelter, etc. etc. Across the driveway is the leasing office for the apartment complex. The basement is used as the storm shelter. So as A and I are watching the news and seeing the people go down there, I asked:
'So what do you think?' (in reference to going down there).
'I don't know, what do you think?'
'Meh.'
Nice. If we ever get sucked out of our house by a tornado, it was because we were to complacent to go to a storm shelter.
