Ready to Rumble...

It's 3:38 p.m. and it's getting really dark outside....We are under a tornado watch and the line of severe weather is almost on top of Baton Rouge. It's starting to rumble outside but the darkness is really eerie. Don't remember it getting this black during the other severe storms we had.

Stuffed a bone for the boys to try and distract them. Ya think that maybe all these storms coming through so often would cure Boomer of his fear of thunderstorms ? If it doesn't cure him it will surely make him a real basket case during these storms. So far the boys are doing OK.. Boomer's not living up to his name....maybe "boom-less" is more like it. When we meet mid-westerners they like his name....they reference the "Sooner" and "Boomer" thing...I didn't know what they were talking about until someone explained it to me but no, he's not named after the rush to get land in the mid-west. It just suited him so that is the name we gave him.

I've wondered, with the frequency of so many severe storms down here, where the safest place would be in the rig if I did have to take cover. Interior room....no such place in an RV. Maybe between the bed and closet with pillows over me ? Probably but doubt it would be of much use if a twister truly did hit us. Although our rig is heavy I don't think it would be heavy enough to withstand the likes of a tornado. Hmm...let's hope we never have to find out. Linda is at work and hopefully she doesn't have a nursing home full of scared people to deal with. This too shall pass....
