Tornado Sirens work

One thing we found out today is we can clearly hear the Tornado Siren's in our new house. Skies weren't looking too good when we were ready to call it a day so decided to stay put for awhile. Strong storms were showing on the radar just west of us. Shortly after the thunderstorm started one of the towns sirens went off. There is another one that's just a few blocks from us and I was wondering if one siren meant only half the town needed to take cover. Next question - which half are we? It must have been five minutes before the other siren went off. And no we didn't go to the basement, since we didn't have a radio here we weren't sure what part of the county it was really for and figured we could move fast if need be. I will admit this has been the first time in a long time that I didn't get nervous in a storm, maybe cause I wasn't sitting on wheels.

Several hours later:
The week has been busy going to Menard's every morning before starting projects at the house. At this point I think we own isles 2 &3 of the plumbing area. Larry has all the new plumbing run for the house. In between running the water lines he was fixing unscheduled projects such as the tub not draining and lots of time spent on getting the hot water heater. Today he worked on the electrical in the kitchen. Ok so your wondering what I've been doing. Besides being a gofer I got the floor in the hall taken up, mowed the yard again, took all the baseboard up in the kitchen, hall and bathroom. If I had a penny f. or every nail I pulled out I'd be able to give back one of the isle's in Menard's.

Update on storm this afternoon. South of us they had several houses damaged and many trees down. In our area we had 1.5 inches of rain in 15 minutes. Know wonder it looked like a lake running down our side walk. There's so much standing water in the fields. Afraid it will be awhile before farmers can get in the fields around here. Stock up on your food items because prices are really going to go up. So many States are way behind on their planting due to the flooding/rains and by the time things dry out it may be to late to plant.

Guess that's it for now. Till next time...........................................
