Seriously had some incredibly scary **** go down an hour ago! We got a weather alert that a tornado was ON THE GROUND 10 miles away from us headed straight toward my town. It was in. Sane. I live in NJ, this **** doesn’t happen very often here.

I’ve been terrified of storms since third grade when we read a story about the death and destruction tornadoes can do. Yes, I can pinpoint the exact time in my life haha! So needless to say I was freaking the hell out. Me and my son were in the basement and RS was watching the sky until he saw what looked like swirling cloud formation then he hit the deck with us in the basement. I was also even more worried because my cat, who has never shown a shred of fear in even the most severe thunderstorms, hightailed is butt downstairs all puffed out and hid behind a box. They say animals can sense things so that added to my freak out.

But thankfully even though the storm ripped through pretty hard we didn’t get any damage that we know of. We’ll have to check the roof tomorrow just to be sure there was no wind damage but it seems like everything is copacetic. I don’t know how those of you who live in common tornado areas do it!!!
