This Weeks Happenings


What a crazy week. Lately around here, according to some local weather guy, it's been like tornado alley. We keep getting these crazy lines of storms. Last night one blew through that woke me up but I thought it was over. Then, while I was at work I found out another one was coming and I received an email from my commander that there was some storms coming that were producing rotations. I knew my clinics evacuation policy and how to get everyone to safety so I wasn't too concerned. Then the post sirens off. If you've ever heard the air raid sirens they just sound creepy and only mean a small amount of things. Then came the email from the commander that the trailers were evacuated. The hospital was safe (bomb shelter-like) and were were advised to stay away from the windows. Dang... I kinda wanted to look out the window but got sassed. But that ended up being it. Now if I was home I would have been a ball of nerves ( I don't like Tornados being that I've never officially been in one) and Steve the level headed one. I think I did well. This is like the 4th time this is happened. But at least now I'm ready! BTW I tried to get Steve to get a picture for me but since there actually was a tornado in his area he was seeking shelter in the bathroom so these are from a news page from our area. Still crazy.
