182/365 Freaky Weather

New Year's Eve was creepy warm. Highs in the 60s and the tornado sirens went off. We went to the basement because Fiona is a bit concerned about storms. The girls set up tents and played their DS's while I did some filing and Mike listened to the weather radio. The "squall line" passed us without incident, just heavy rain. But a tornado touched down west of us and north of us. So it was prudent to hide.

After, the sky cleared and it was still warm. Children played together, forced outside by parents who can read weather reports and know the cold is returning.
