Tornado Siren in Hugo…Again

I’m sitting inside the storage closet in our townhome with Shane.  It’s the safest place in here.  I had to wake him out of his first hour of sleep for the night.  Looks like the tornado warning has passed now though.

I wouldn’t be at all surprised it Hugo has hit a record number of times that the tornado siren has gone off in a summer.  It sure is interesting how different I feel when I hear that siren after the tornado ripped through Hugo.  The siren didn’t mean much to me before the tornado.  Now, I fear it.

Well, we are safe now, thank the Lord.

Funny side note, and demonstration of my lack of patients sometimes:  I am still in the storage closet with Shane, trying to finish up this blog post.  Shane is to the left of me and he’s trying to climb up on my lap.  I was using my elbow to deflect his legs from climbing up on my leg, and getting a little frustrated by his need to all of the sudden be in my lap.  I look at him to tell him to stop for a minute - and he had turned my patient-lacking leg-deflecting into a game, and he was loving it.  Humbled on the spot…  Thank the Lord for that too.

Here’s a picture I figured I’d throw in of Shane and I in the closet, taken from my laptop camera.
