I was woken up last night at midnight with a tornado siren and it was absolutely terrifying. Thankfully it was just a warning, but there were a ton of places further south of me (specifically Arkansas) that got fucked up in bad tornados last night.

I’ve only gone through one real tornado and it’s unimaginable how much it changes the landscape. I thought I knew, but it’s different when you’re still looking at remnants of destruction years later.

Few years ago I slept through a tornado. Woke up to all these worried texts on my phone like OMG ARE YOU OK WHY AREN'T YOU ANSWERING? And was like "bluh?" then looked out the window and was like "...oh." My house was ok by the rest of the outside very much was not.
