In December, my phone went off with the warning that a tornado had been spotted in my county. I headed out for the nearby university, which is my go-to spot for tornado safety. Unbeknownst to me, during the drive to the campus, a tornado was lifting off the roof of the Amazon building a mile from me. If it had been daytime, I would have seen it.
After the warning was over, another tornado warning sounded. I tried to go back to SIUE, but the road was now closed. The road to my home was now closed too. Not knowing what to do, I drove into town, losing my way in the pitch dark with rain slashing down, and then hearing tornado sirens going off all around me. Eventually I realized I was on the street of my sister, so I booked it to her house, where we spent the next hour sheltering.
The next day I took a drive to see chunks of Amazon roof on my street from where the tornado had dropped them. The nearest was about a half a mile from my home.
One of the scariest times in my life!

You live in the neck of the woods near where I was born and have family still living.
replyWow! I can imagine that was scary. We experienced something like that. Driving down to North Carolina, we were on a divided 4-lane highway with trees on either side of us. Over the radio & phone, we heard the tornado warnings and sightings in certain counties. We didn't know what county we were in, couldn't move off of the highway, couldn't get to shelter. Torrential rain obscured our night vision. Branches and entire trees scattered across the road. We prayed HARD and kept driving, slowly, down the road until the rain relented.
replyHahaha I love your interpretation drawing of it :)
replyThe Tasmanian Devil would have loved this puzzle. As did I.
replyI have been going through mindscrub puzzles that I have missed over the years. This is a good representation of inside my head.
