Sunday 7th April

My main preoccupation today has been the weather, there might be tornadoes on Tuesday, and we were told to make our tornado precautions, so I went to Walmart and bought a weather radio.

 As I think you know, I don't go to a shelter because I would rather track the tornado on the Weather Channel, but as soon as I lose power I'll dive in my shelter (the bathroom that doesn't have outside walls) and the weather radio will tell me what is happening outside.   I don't think I will need it to wake me up, the sirens in the street wake the dead.

I was lucky last year when there were bad tornadoes in May, and one was headed for downtown Shawnee, I got nervous when it was 12 minutes away, but then it passed over, so I am thinking I might not be so lucky this year, hence the radio. Apparently the forthcoming tornadoes are going to be as bad as they were last May.

By Tuesday I'll have my shelter kitted out.  I think Bubbles would rather run to where she feels safest, ie in my closet, so I'll clear a space and put a blanket down for her.

 Certainly looks hot down in the south west of the state.
