In which we heard a tornado siren and everything.

Big StormBread and BoSe were out this afternoon canvassing but came back to the hotel when water was sheeting over their rig and the hail was marble-sized. We watched the weather on cable until it cleared up, then I went back out with them to finish canvassing their chosen neighborhood.

BoSe spoke with three or four people while Bread and I distributed fliers. We hope to sign three contracts tomorrow!

After we ran out of fliers, we headed back to the hotel. We took obscure back roads because Bread was driving and he’ll take a backroad over an Interstate any day of the week. When we were driving through Wanamaker on our way back to Greenwood, their local tornado siren was going off. We pulled into a parking lot and jumped out looking for a funnel, but didn’t see one.

The clouds looked amazing!

    1. It’s kind of like the movie Twister? I mean you’re even driving a Dodge Ram!

    2. Bread and I have something in common. I too take backroads even when the expressway or major highway is the quicker route.

    “Another cow!”

    “No, I think that is the same one.”

    *chuckle* -m

    I got hailed out of my flight back to New York yesterday — it was okay, though — more of mama’s food and family fun.

    Mama’s food. Yum. -m

    Sounds like this new job is working well for you 3. Yay! When you said you pulled into a parking lot and jumped out, I thought that meant you pulled into your hotel parking lot and jumped out to race to the nearest “safe” space, as I would have done. But no, you were LOOKING for funnels?!?! I am a wimp…

    But I do wish we got storms like that here… I remember seeing one in Alabama and the lightening was amazing. but here all we get is pukey grey skies and steady moderate rain. how boring.

    I’ve never seen one. I’d be scared, and then I’d run in the opposite direction! -m
