A Weekend of Tornado Warnings (and a Giveaway!)

I was hoping to have a travel post ready for today, but the severe weather had other plans. On Sunday morning, we were woken up to the lovely sounds of tornado sirens. I grabbed the dog and husband and shoved them into the bathtub (we don’t have basements in Texas, and in a second floor apartment, you do what you can) while we looked at the radar. Before I made Chris drag the mattress off the bed and over our heads, we found out our city felt it should sound off some early morning tornado sirens to let us know there was a severe thunderstorm without a single rotation. Thankfully, nothing touched down around here, but we had severe weather all weekend. Spring in Texas sure is fun!

Speaking of fun, it was Shane’s birthday last week, and she got a bunch of bloggers together to bring you a $250 giveaway: a Rafflecopter giveaway

  5. The weather was so crazy out here this weekend. I'm glad it was a false alarm for y'all! I didn't hear any of the sirens go off where I am. We're so lucky the worst thankfully missed us though! I really hope nobody was seriously hurt or killed in all these tornados.

  6. That doesn't sound like fun at all! But at least you have warnings. When earthquakes hit here, they just strike and there's no way to know one's coming. Glad you guys are okay!
