Thursday - May 28th
The weather wasn't too bad today, but when it was time for Alissa to start walking home, I noticed that it looked like a storm was coming. I walked outside to check it out. It was really warm still and the sun was shining right above me, but there was a big storm coming and it was moving fast. The clouds looked really dark and scary and I knew the storm would hit while they were walking. As I was watching the storm quickly moving toward us, I wondered if this was prime conditions for a tornado, because it was so warm and sunny and a cold storm was coming fast. I don't know much about tornadoes, but I know it is caused by the warm and cold air colliding. Anyway, I decided that it would be a good idea to go and pick them up. I came inside, got the keys, told Roger about the storm and why I was going to pick them up, and headed out the door.
As I was pulling out of the parking lot, I noticed a cloud that was starting to look like a funnel cloud. I kept looking over at it as I drove. It definitely was a funnel cloud. I've never seen one before. I couldn't decide if I should be excited or scared. I was watching it trying to decide how close it was. I was glad that I was going to pick them up and hoped that we wouldn't encounter a tornado on our drive back home. I got to the school and the kids piled in. when I turned us around to head home, I couldn't see the funnel cloud anymore. the girls kept saying that they were seeing it, but I couldn't. Anyway, it was exciting to see. I'm glad it didn't reach the ground and become a tornado. I was bummed that I didn't have my camera with me to take a picture. But when I checked Facebook tonight, I found that a lot of people stopped to take pictures. So, I copied some picture from Facebook to show you what I saw. It was so exciting.
