My mom calls screaming for me to get into the bathroom and says there tornadoes out waking me up. I hung up on her. A quick check showed it wasn't in my area and it wasn't even raining. She is so scared of storms that she taught me to be but that was 15 years ago. I no longer have that fear after living in 5 different states. I've seen hurricanes, dust storms, blizzards, electrical lighting storms. I am more fascinated with weather and have healthy amount of respect for it. It will take some getting use to St Louis severe weather again because every area's weather behaves different. We had some amazing lighting here that I told Maisy to relax someone is just taking pictures. My little one runs and hides but Maisy climbs in my lap when it storms like that.
I'll never forget when we moved to JC and there was a horse pasture in the backyard. A storm with alot of lighting came up and started to strike the pasture it was like someone up above was trying to hit those horses. They move one way and the lighting would come down and hit the ground so they go the other way and the next bolt would be in that direction. Those poor horses. They all survived but it was scary to watch that pink bolt of electricity hit the earth over and over.
Stay safe!
