Crazy weather

Were you up all night with bad weather? I know most of the people that read this are within a few hours of me, so I'm sure you got it just like we did. It was a long night for us, and I am groggy and grumpy this morning from not getting much sleep.

A tornado touched down a couple of counties over from us, and we were under a tornado warning a good chunk of the night. Even now, we're under a flash flood warning. Kathryn woke up sometime during the night, scared because her night light was not working (the power was actually out, but I wasn't going to try to explain electricity to her in the middle of the night). Weather noises are one of the things my "super mommy hearing" does not pick up in the night - but Kathryn crying definitely gets me up.

Thunderstorms normally don't bother me a bit; I love watching them and listening to them, but last night was creepy. I'm glad it's over, the sun is shining this morning, the birds are singing, and when I drove the kids to school this morning, I didn't see any obvious damage to trees, etc. I know not all of our neighboring counties were as lucky. Our weather seems to get more and more extreme, doesn't it???
