U Gotta Be Kiddin Me This is a blog about me, my life and my family!

We just went thru HELL. The tornado sirens went off like crazy just a little bit ago. I looked out my front door....didn't see nothing. Only calmness. No wind. Nothing. Absolute silence. Then it went all crazy. I went to the back door and saw my life pass in front of me. I started crying and called my Mom. I truly needed my Mom at that moment. Even though I called her earlier to make sure she was alright...all along it was I that needed comfort. It was huge. It was turning. I know it was a funnel cloud. I watched it. I was mesmerized by it. But now, we are under the gun yet again. Another cell popped up. More Tornado watches...Warnings....Thunder all over the place. I have my laptop but its not plugged into the wall. Too much lightning in the area. When the news was on, we had 235 strikes within a 20 minute period. I keep watching it out the window. And speaking of Lightning, not sure what happened but we have a fire that just broke out in downtown Davenport, IA. My Dad just called me to let me know. Funny thing is, I was just down in that area tonight taking pictures of the swollen Mississippi. One reason why I hate Satellite TV...is in storms they tend to go out. I had to reset my receiver just now to get the news on. Please God..Please...if for once. Please stop the insanity right now. Its enough already. Ok, I got my sign just now. A little town just south of me is needing help sandbagging. Its something I need to do. I did it back in 2000 and saved a business. I will head into work first thing, make sure things are ok. But then I am going to go help. I have too.
