Crazy Weather

Yesterday I got a text from the University. It said that school would be closing at 2:30, too bad I was in my last class. I walked to my boyfriend’s house after class as usual. All day my head had been hurting but once I finally sat down I really felt it. I am pretty sure it had something to do with this crazy weather, cold one day and warm the next. Well I decided I would take a nap and see if it would help me feel any better. So I laid down and started to doze off, but right before I could fall asleep I heard some weird noise and a man’s voice over a loud speaker. At first I thought I might just be dreaming but I awoke and went into the living room. His roommates were in there and assured me it was only to say that school was closed. I really don’t understand why they use such an eerie sound. It makes the situation seem so much worse than it really is. Since it wasn’t a tornado warning I decided to go back to sleep. The boys said they would wake me up if the weather got bad. So I took my nap and it made me feel a lot better. I would have been able to enjoy that feeling of reenergizing if only the tornado sirens were not going off when I woke up. I wandered around the house only to find no one, so I called my mom. I could not believe the guys left me asleep during a tornado warning. As my mom was explaining the situation one of the roommates emerged from his room. I was glad to know I would have one person to ride the storm out with. We watched the news and discussed our plans for if a tornado really touched down until my boyfriend got home from work. My boyfriend was not scared at all and said a friend of theirs was on the front porch reading a book. We had no clue he was there and it was funny to know he was outside chillin while we were inside trying to figure out what to do next. We decided to go see what was up with their friend on the porch. We all ended up staying out there watching the storm. It was really cool actually. The blinding streaks of lightening were awesome to watch, only because they were in the distance. Usually I would be scared during a time like this, but I guess with the company of the guys I felt pretty safe. I do not recommend staying outside during a tornado warning, if a tornado had touched down we would have been gone, but it really was neat to watch all that happened.

First of all, you were taking a nap instead of reading the billion pages for UNHP! Procrastinator! Ha Well I can totally see all of yall sitting on the front porch watching the tornado, but that was so stupid! They were so close and yall could have been sucked in a second, but I am really glad yall are safe but maybe next time yall should not sit outside!
