Tornado

We're all okay. One of the tornadoes touched down just two miles from our house, killing a guy who was in his RV. Rachel didn't even know there was a tornado watch/warning in effect when that one came. The big one that destroyed part of Windsor was just 10 miles from us. Pretty crazy. Rach and the boys spent most of the afternoon down in our basement (that's where you're supposed to go when there's a tornado, I didn't learn that until yesterday). I was in clinic when all of this happened and we had to go down to the basement of the clinic with out patients for about 20 minutes or so. But did we cancel clinic? Stop working? Nope. We didn't lose power at our house or anything, so we got off pretty good. Just makes you think about how truly unprepared we really are; we have 72 hr kits, but that's about it -- no supplies of batteries, extra flashlights, supply of water... makes good sense to get some more food storage, I think I'll do that.
So I'm on call today at the hospital and we have another tornado watch, but don't be afraid. We have trained tornado spotters that go up on the roof and watch if we move to full tornado warning status. Sheesh.
