OMG - we were under a tornado warning

**homesteadmamma** · 06-01-2005, 09:17 PM

We still are under severe weather warnings. The tornado warning just went off. It was for our town specifically along with 2 other towns around us. The tornado was spotted although it didn't touch ground and went back up into the clouds. It was pretty ominous here.

This is the first tornado warning we've had specific to our town. For the past couple years we've had watches and warnings but for areas surrounding us.

Our little town made the local CBC and CTV news.

Sorry your town made the news for this reason. ugh Hoping it whirls right on by.

I've seen the damage even a small one can do in our little city.

Its just a tad bit scarey watching those clouds, listening to the warnings on the news and trying to calm the kids down all at the same time.

It looks like were okay for now - they are saying bad weather until the weekend. The ground is soggy its so wet. My garden is flooded!!

I hope it was a once in a life time event.

I will cross my fingers for your garden.

I'm hoping you'll all be safe, CJ. I have my fingers crossed for your garden too. Let us know what happens.

Hope you & your family is safe CJ.

**hollyhill** · 06-02-2005, 03:36 AM

OHHHH! I was listening to the news on the radio and heard all about it. Very scary.
I hope it is a VERY rare event.

CJ you can certainly do without THAT kind of excitement right!

I hope tyou all stay safe & that things quickly get back to normal

**Darlene** · 06-02-2005, 07:18 AM

Glad you are all ok. So sorry to hear about your garden, you didn't have one for a bit & started last year(if I remember correctly) & that was flooded & now this year the same thing.

Hope it dries out & perks back up.

**SewCrafty** · 06-02-2005, 07:23 AM

Sorry to hear about your garden, hope it dries out soon for you. Glad everyone is safe, tornadoes are scary!

**Michele Annette** · 06-02-2005, 09:16 AM

CJ I hope no tornados touch down in your town! I'm saying a prayer that your garden stays safe!

**PrairieRose** · 06-02-2005, 12:15 PM

I'm sorry your garden is flooded Cj....

That's the pits. I'm glad that you didn't have an actual tornado. We get them about once a week here and the thing is they don't actually post the WARNING until a tornado has been spotted here.

We have the city sirens go off about 2-3 times per year. That means there's one headed right for us, to hit the cellar (which b.t.w. we don't have but we have neighbors that have a basement).
