tornado sirens just went off

The radar shows a strong cell moving right over you, Evo, and one to the southwest, which is moving NE.

there is a circular spinning cloud wall approaching.

I have no basement, Inside room or ravine?

Downstairs (and preferably interior) bathroom or closet with pillows or cushions would be best alternative.

Hoping for the best at your end.

The Evo child is here and she has stocked the bathroom, with everything we could need to survive if trapped. (she's terrified of storms) The plan is I grab the fruit bat, she grabs Foofer. I have a couple of heavy hammers to try to remove debris if possible, I should get a sledge hammer.

The sirens aren't helping her calm down any.

Evo, I hope you and your daughter and your animals are all OK! I'll be worried until I see your next post...

You won't be reading this in time to make any difference, but it's nice to be in a small room with some structural integrity if you can manage it. Short spans of overhead trusses/stringers are good.

I just watched one of your weather channels, boy are you guy having some tough times,
Hope all will turn out ok for Evo, child and pets.

We're just under a tornado warning until 1 am now, with another storm approaching, but the intense wind and rain have let up, still a lot of lightning.

Thanks everyone. Poor Evo Child is very uncomfortable, she's been afraid of lightning and thunder since she was little.

Hmmm,, the news says some houses on my old street were hit by lightning. Can I be lucky enought that this time it burns to the ground? Last time it was hit by lightning, I just lost $10,000 in appliances.

Glad to hear you're OK ! I hope the storms tonight miss your area.

I know it's tough to see your kid scared when there's really nothing you can do about it...take good care.

It was 103 here just a couple of days ago... Then cold weather hit and it dropped to the low 60's in Tucson and it SNOWED a foot on the local mountains. So much for the camping trip.
The roads are closed on Mt. Graham and chains required where they are plowed. It really put out a fire that was burning in the hot dry mountains...

It's cold here also, I'm wearing a heavy sweater. This may be the first Memorial Day where I will have a jacket on to grill outside.
