What to do when there's a Tornado:

A. Go into your storm cellar

B. Go into your bathroom and put a mattress over your head (if you don't have a storm cellar)

C. Park under an overpass (if you are in your car)

D. Go out to dinner (if you are really hungry)We picked D. The pro's were #1: no waiting (everyone else was hiding in their cellars/bathtubs), #2: interesting atmosphere (the power kept going off and on), and #3: great entertainment (the couple near our table ran out of the restaurant in a panic to hide in their cellar/bathtub). Unfortunately, I did not see a funnel but you had better believe that I had my camera on the table waiting for one!!!

On the way home from the Zoo, severe weather warnings were broadcast on the radio. There was a lot of traffic and we've learned that these people tend to be awful drivers when the weather turns bad so we figured we had a greater chance of dying in traffic than in the restaurant.
