Last night I was awakened by a telephone call from the National Weather Service at 12:30 am to let me know that I was in a tornado area. Got up, checked the back porch and closed the windows--looked outside and only saw rain--some wind. I was still awake at 1:30 in the morning! Other than a funnel hitting my building, my only thought was--rain could ruin election day.
Don't forget to vote!
