Tornado Sirens

Ok so the other night was a little crazy. I was sleeping on the couch while Levi was watching a movie (i work night shift, so im always sleeping lately) and suddenly i bolt upright. Levi startles and is like, "whats wrong!?" I seriously dont know why i bolted upright at that very moment but i was WIDE awake and scared (maybe i had a bad dream, idk). I looked out our livingroom window and saw a crazy sight. You know how in the movies when a hurricane or tornado is coming it shows how hard the wind is blowing? the trees are like bent half way over, the sky is gray, and its super loud!? Well thats what it looked like, a clip from a stormy movie. To top it all off i opened our front door and even though it was poring rain it was hot outside (which is not a good sign), and there was this really loud noise on top of the wind, that i had never heard before. The sound was a mix between a building security alarm, an ambulance, and something else i cant pinpoint. And it was LOUD, really loud. Well it turns out it was a tornado siren going off. So i sat back on my couch with the blinds to the window open watching the storm (i would have gone to a potato cellar, or basement, or somewhere safe but i dont have a cellar or basement and i dont know any of my neighbors, it was hopeless, so i watched the storm.) You ask, "well werent you scared?" and i say, "you bet your pants, i was!" but there was nothing i could do. I looked up on the internet where the tornado was supposed to be at and it said, "Prairie Rose" which happens to be the very exact community i live in! Which freaked me out even more! The storm passed pretty quickly (with in like half an hour) and the sirens turned off. So 10:30pm comes around and i have to get in my car and go to work (dont forget its still erie outside) while im driving down the road i keep checking my lights to make sure they're on because its super dark out, and then i realized all the street, building, and traffic lights are out. I guess the power stopped working. Also all over the road is sticks, leaves, branches, and trash, signs are tipped over, and trees are up rooted and on their sides. It was crazy. Driving to work i saw a tree on top of a car! Also one of the huge trees in front of the hospital i work at was up rooted and on its side in the drive way. It turns out a tornado didnt actually touch down but the wind was going about 100mph in every direction and did all the damage. I cant imagine what it would have been like if a tornado had touched down, im so grateful that one didnt! I have never seen, experienced, or heard these kinda things and it was definitly a new, scary adventure.
