emergency broadcast system

so today's post will be a quick one: we had a few tornados in the area and our city was under severe storm threat... so we had to power off our computers here for about an hour. dont worry, everyone is just fine. no damage in the city that i know of so far except for the few random trees torn down... but of course this is all from what i can see thru my office window. it might be much worse out there. i doubt it. although i have heard rumors nearby towns have been left in devastation so my prayers go out to them. i know brian and the puppy are safe at home but i just can not wait to leave work so i can be with them and cuddle my boys on the couch. i cant relax until i see them.

not that a tragedy is funny, but if i had to pick the funniest moment it would have been when i actually got to hear the emergency broadcast system over the speakers around town and on the radio stations. it was funny because you always hear it pop up in the middle of your favorite song and you always think, "damn! when do we ever use this anyway?! so annoying!" and for once we actually did. okay, maybe that wasnt funny and should be considered more surreal. funny would be when the tree crashed down on the front porch startling me so bad that i fell out of my chair, spilling fruit snacks all over the floor.
