I've been wanting it to rain for some time now. The pastures are dry and eaten down. The grass won't grow without some moisture. Thursday night it rained and hailed. The city got hit very hard with hail. Cars were buried with hail, it was that bad. We had about quarter inch of rain plus the hail. Friday night the same thing happened except we didn't get any noticeable hail.
What we did get was an automated call from the sheriff's office saying that a tornado had been spotted in our area and we should move to a secure location. For us, the bathroom seems to be the best option. I had Andy and Alex in the tub. Peter and I were sitting around and Mischka and Ringo were laying on the floor of the bathroom. Max was outside barking at something. Jack was laying in the kitchen. Mischka had actually been trying to sit on my lap earlier when the power went out and it started to rain. But by the time we were sent to shelter she had calmed down.
The call from the SO said they would let us know when it was all clear. We never had a phone call from the SO about the danger being over. For as calm as the dogs were I didn't think that a tornado was anywhere near us.
