Enough with the tornado warnings and severe weather!
Enough with the tornado warnings & severe weather already! If I wanted to meet the Wizard, I’d have moved to Kansas! #moreontheway That was a tweet I sent out today as I huddled in an interior bathroom with my two dogs. Without a basement (our home’s built on a slab) this gets scary. The poor …
