Dog was outside & knew something was up 'cause she started scratching the back door down about 5 minutes before the tornado warning siren started screaming - at 3:30 a.m. Looks like tornado passed about 8 miles to our north - thank goodness. Hope it has not touched down anywhere. We have a lot of friends who live in it's path, in northern part of county.

I hear sirens from fire station again, but it's not the tornado siren. They sound like they're sitting in the station running them. Local weather isn't showing anything new. Looks like our immediate area is in the clear. It's pouring down rain. Dog is pacing.

Thanks for the good thoughts on DD everyone. She seems feverish still at this early morning hour. She can take Motrin at 4:30. My poor baby.

Well, I'd better go. Maybe I can go back to sleep after this passes. Yea, right!
