I’m getting old: I’ve had a vicious headache since this afternoon over the entire tornado warning thing. Â Fortunately, no twister where I was (or at all), but we got hammered by the storm anyway. Even more fortunately, no reports of deaths or serious injuries.
Still: I’m maybe not staying up late tonight. Or doing anything that requires much in the way of thinking. Because OW my head.
Come to Texas, you’ll get used to the warnings. I’ve seen probably 6-7 tornadoes in my life in person, none closer than a few miles away. Tho one of my best friend’s parents’ house was destroyed by one on Mothers Day in 1994, missed my folks place by a mile or so. But I wasn’t there.
Yeah, I’ve gotten used to conversations like this:
Me: “Looks like radar shows thunderstorms rolling in”
Girlfriend: “So that’s why my migraine has been getting worse the last few hours”
