the wizard of oz

Last night we got our first tornado warning, with all the news channels interrupting regularly scheduled programming to bring us the very latest. Everyone around here seemed to know it was coming because of the weather lately. I, however, am unaware of such tell-tale signs. All I know is "red sky at night, sailor's delight, red sky in morning, sailor's warning." And that if the leaves blow up rain is coming. But, suffice it to say that last night's thunderstorms and tornadoes made for an interesting night. The news even had footage of a tornado about an hour and a half away from us. The storm chasers were all over the funnel clouds, and you could hear hail denting their trucks. The courthouse in Anadarko lost half its roof (it's unknown if it was a tornado or just the very strong winds). The storm went around Edmond, and we didn't get so much as a drop of rain. Crazy.





Here's me showing off my pregnancy double chin. Doesn't the hub looked thrilled? I'm sure the neighbors thought it totally inappropriate for me to be pulling off a glamour shots photo session in the front yard during a tornado warning, with sirens going off. Sticks in the mud!
