Well that was interesting....

Just a few miles from my house.....

So apparently sitting in the basement with my kids for 45 min. tonight was NOT an overreaction.
And calling my parents to warn them to head to the basement ended up being a pretty good idea. These pictures were taken just to the south of us. Yikes! I'll tell you what, I think it's time for me to buy a weather radio that comes on automatically when bad weather is in our area.
