In like a lion. . .

Well, the weather here has been pretty wicked the past few days. Friday was gorgeous -sunny and 60. Then the winds kicked in Saturday. Yesterday we were under storm watches for most of the day. Lo and behold, the tornado sirens go off last night around 9:00 p.m. So, down to the basement we went! Dogs, kids, stuffed animals, blankets, phones, and all. Tornadoes ripped through places south of here and nearly leveled Springfield. Apparently there was a tornado down near Oregon, which is only 10 miles down the road from us.

Today, we have wind gusts into the 50s with a wind advisory until midnight. It wants to rain and snow. The temperature is supposed to fall into the 20s tonight. Mother nature seems to be having a hard time birthing spring this year.
