Today I felt like I was living the movie Night of the Twisters. Only it was day of the twisters and it was scary as hell. In case you did not hear, there was a tornado outbreak in the DFW Metroplex today. The early reports are estimating between 16-22 tornadoes were spotted in one day. Crazy. So I spent most of my day watching the news on my computer at work and dreading my ill-timed drive to class.
Everything turned out fine for us, but I'm pretty sure I need blood pressure medicine or a bottle big glass of wine.
Actual picture of SMU today.
How did that drive work out for me?
There was a tornado warning in effect.
It was raining so hard I could barely see and the road was practically under water.
It was hailing. Bad.
It was the worst 3 mile drive of my life. Then I get to class and the tornado sirens start going off. No big deal. Prof thinks this is a perfectly normal time to have class. Pay no attention to the emergency texts/emails/phone calls from the school telling everyone to take cover. Then some lady came into class to say we had to evacuate. Fun.
