but there was quite a bit of warning. My husband told me early in the night to make sure I turned off the comp because there was an awful storm coming. I went to bed about 12:30 and 1:30 I was woken up by thunder/lightening and loud ass sirens. But I live in town also, so they were probably closer. I ran to the basement, turned on the tv. to find out what was going on. Realized it was going to be basically at our doorstep in five minutes, so I ran upstairs, grabbed my husband-had the two dogs in tow and we ran back downstairs. I still can't grasp how 5 minutes from my house is a gigantic structure that is non existant now...and my house is perfectly fine......I consider myself very lucky.
