The sky is dark. There's a looming stillness in the air. There's an eery calm above us as if time is standing still. The luminous clouds appear to be standing still. The sky feels lower than usual. The siren is deafening. It's loud and sending a warning for conditions to stir the sky into a tornado. As the siren stops, the surroundings are quiet. Weird for a busy city street and there are people moving about all looking up and possibly noticing the same things I am.
PS - A tornado didn't touch down or begin to stir near where we are, thank goodness. Just a lot of rain and some thunder.

Are you in Ohio? I spent a while sitting in my basement this evening due to the tornado warnings in our area (central Ohio). Luckily no touchdowns here. Your descriptions are wonderful. ~JudyK
ReplyDeleteI am in Ohio, Central Ohio and we were on OSU campus visiting our daughter. I'm glad you were safe and a bit smarter in your basement.
DeleteI hate nights like this! There have been too many in my lifetime. It's the eerie silence that gets me.
