This really isn't how I wanted to wake up

Hm. Thunder, rain. A bit of hail. Crazy-ass winds (up to 60mph). Severe weather alert. Supposed to expire in three minutes, but I don't think it's going to dissapate anytime soon.

Oh, good. KCUR just told me about a tornado warning until 5:00 a.m.

Should I make coffee now, in case we lose electricity, or should I hope it blows over (har har) and try to go back to sleep if the warnings aren't extended?

I think it's very likely that I won't be going anywhere today. Unless of course, the house blows away, in which case I might be spending the rest of my four-day weekend in a public shelter somewhere.

UPDATE: OK, well, apparently the storm has moved on but the tornado alert remains in effect and might even be extended until noon. NOON? There's still a bit of thunder and lightning, but the winds have died down a bit. Yay, freezing rain expected today. With a possibility of turning to snow.

UPDATE 2: Good god. The storm has moved to KC and is building winds of up to over eighty miles per hour. Apparently that's strong enough to overturn vehicles. Good luck, Kansas City. And, er, good luck to my friends who have plans that involve travel in the KC area. *cough*

Hm. Still thundering.

I compromised on the hot beverage situation and made cocoa.

I slept through it, so it was not all that loud.

My cat and I would argue that, I think.

Yes, poor YMirs is a wreck this morning. he's scared to death of storms and this was just wrong in his little walnut-sized brain.
