First let me preface this by saying, "Im a city girl!" No doubt. I'm from Chicago and this tornado warning, hurricane warning business is for the birds! By the way, I live in GA now. Well, I'm minding my own business getting some serious zzzz's when I hear the sirens at about 4am! Yikes...wake up...there is lighting everywhere...about 500+ strikes per hour. I get up to go turn on the tv and sure enough our county is under tornado warning. For those who don't know, a tornado watch means there are favorable conditions to create a tornado but a warning typically means that a tornado has been spotted. Whoa! I'm scared now!
Well, dh gets up, uses the restroom and gets in the bed...what the #!@^? I'm scared...I'm standing next to the bathroom...I'm ready to get in under the sink and wait it out, cause I just don't know what's coming next. The winds start to pick up and you hear them getting closer, the rain is getting harder and the winds stronger and stronger.....SLAM! I'm in the bathroom with the door shut. She: "Hey are you going to come into the bathroom with me?" He: "Uuuhhh, yeh, I'll come in the bathroom." Next thing you know...he is in the other bathroom...the lights are flickering...I run out grab a pillow and flashlight..the lights go out. I yell, "What are you doing in the other bathroom..I'm scared." He says, "I wanted to sit down." What the #!@^? Sitdown? You see, I was sitting on the toilet lid....I would have gladly given it up to have him in there with me.
Once the storm passes and we are both out of "our" bathrooms, I say to dh "Next time you need to be in the same room with me," (first of all, I really hope there is not a next time). He says, "Well you had the flashlight!" I didn't know whether to laugh or spit!
Needless to say, 10 minutes in the bathroom is a long time!

P.S. A tornado did not touch down near us, but there was one about 10 miles away.
