Someone Tell Dorothy that the Tornados Were In Central Florida Today...

Straight out of a scene from the Wizard of Oz, today Central Florida faced a new hell - the tornado. Over 6 were reported and the damage is absolutely devastating. It's always fun at 4ish in the morning to hear this huge storm and at 5:00 a.m. to hear the radio saying that my county (and town) had a tornado warning (not watch) and that they were going to touch down. Along with the annoying BEEP BEEP BEEP was the lovely note that in an event of a tornado, get to the lowest floor, inside a closet and wait. Well - I'm on the 3rd Floor - the closing thing away from all the windows is the bathroom (which, by the way is big enough for a party) and so I pretty much shut the doors, closed the blinds (in case of glass shatter from the huge palm trees outside my apartment windows) and the cat and I pretty much camped out in the bedroom/bathroom til about 7 or so, only to hear that it was touching down in the town next to me and where some of my friends live. Scary, huh?

Well, in true Dorothy mode today, I am wearing my red "slippers" aka Nine West pumps and maybe, just maybe, if I click my heels three times it will all be just a bad dream.

To donate to those that were affected and lost everything, please visit the Red Cross. I'm not holding my breath for FEMA to help. Honestly - if I ever would meet the director of that agency, he would NOT like me.
