Tornado Warning

Monday night there was a tornado warning here in San Antonio. A tornado touched ground in a town just south of the city, and its path followed I-35 which goes right to downtown, near us, and near where my niece and her family live. My other niece was at work downtown. My sister, Susie, and I were quite concerned. We decided to gather a few important items to put in the bathroom where we decided to go if the tornado hit. I guess we turned it into a little of a comical event, but the bottom line is, you never know so you should be prepared as best as you can be. Amy and JR prepared for the tornado too, just in case.

This is the bathroom where we put in some bottles of water.

We had to save our family calendar.
We packed up one of Max's wagons, that was still here, with valuables like pictures, toys, pillows, jackets, umbrellas, shoes, important papers, and the left over doughnuts.
We also packed a small suitcase with important pictures, Max's swing, and the dog costume.
This is what Bob did. Good thing the tornado dissipated. It did cause quite a bit of damage in the town where it touched down. Erin, who was at work at the Hyatt downtown, was also not too concerned, but during the second round of the storm, she did end up driving home and got sopping wet from her car to her apt.
