We're all gonna die, except Dora!

We've been under a tornado watch all afternoon and will be until 8 this evening. The tornado sirens have gone off three times and there's more storms coming. So far, the weatherman is saying that a funnel cloud/possible tornado went to the north of us and there's another one due any minute that should go to the south of us. Well, at least to the south of our house, and that's all I care about right now.

We ran to Culver's to grab some food just as the clouds thickened (quote from the back seat--"Mommy, why is a car a good place to be if you get struck by lightning?") and then we ate in the basement. Now, we're actively switching channels to hear different meteorologist opinions of what's coming next. Unfortunately, it seems that we're going to have this type of storm activity all evening.

Meanwhile, Allie and Julia are enjoying playing with their basement toys and Dora the Explorer is happily asking us if we want to buy more things at the grocery store. I'm sure the house could come down around us and she'd still be asking if we wanted to "compra" more stuff.

Uh, no thanks. Unless Dora sells concrete reinforced storm shelters.
