Are you at home? You LIVE in a valley of San Diego, in a trailer park.

GO. NOW. Scoot. Grab a book, grab some kumihimo, pick up a bottle of water, and go somewhere else. If nothing else likely comes up, go sit in the admitting waiting room of a hospital. They can't close down due to weather, they are sturdy buildings, and they have emergency backup power.

Honest, it's only until 6 pm. Take the extra precaution. Consider it wearing your seatbelt, okay?

Next I get to chat with you, remind me to pass on a song phrase I heard and thought of you.

Yeah, but you're not wearing a muu-muu and curlers or a tank top t-shirt with boxers and a bathrobe (and a beer), so I figure you're okay.

I think that if I was, it wouldn't be the storm people were worried about.

Trailer park=tornado magnet. We're having severe thunderstorm watches here. IE They're talking 2 inch hail, 60 m.p.h. winds and severe lightening. Possibly tornados. I'm wondering if the thunder woke me up. Considering I tried to hack up a lung when I woke up we'll never know. Good luck! Blessed Be, Angelique
