Last night mother nature decided to go crazy! Instead of watching The Office, Aaron and I watched the local weather man. There were tornado watches and tornado warnings around here all night long. It made me nervous at first but it wasn't even raining here so I didn't worry.
Off to bed we go and Aaron is already counting sheep when I hear a whistle. This whistle blew for about 5 minutes straight. So of course I panic thinking the tornado is headed right for us. I wake up Aaron and turn on the news and it IS heading for us! Now mind you the winds are nothing like they had in FL but I still grabbed blankets to head to the bathroom at any minute.
Once he was awake Aaron goes outside to watch the lighting. Madness! He convinces me to go outside and watch the lighting. And to be honest it was really beautiful. When it lit up the sky the clouds were big and fluffy and the sky was blue. Boone knew better and didn't even want to go outside. That should have been a clue.
Well, we ended up only getting hit with a major thunderstorm but Fort Knox had a tornado touch down there. Aaron had a friend call (via cell phone) to say he was alright but his power was out.
I like Kentucky so far but if it is going to give us eventful nights like last night all the time, then no thanks! Although, it is supposed to be 85 degrees this weekend. Maybe I can give this place another chance.

That was crazy wasn't it?! We got some weather here too... the local tornado sirens went off, but nothing more than a t-storm came close to us. We camped out in the basement for a couple of hours anyway!
Sirens? A light show? Are you sure you guys weren't at a club? ;)
Glad to hear nothing major happened but very exciting, at least to me. Love me some thunderstorms. And 85 in October? NUTS. Although its supposed to be 70 here today. CRAZY!
Wow - glad you guys are okay and got to have a bit of the "excitement" without the actual tornado! I'm jealous of your weather, it's rainy and highs of 60 something here in da 'Burg right now. :(
