Today = Something that you miss
Right now, I miss calm summer weather... more storms are supposed to be rolling in tonight and tomorrow, and I'm so over it!! I miss not having to pay much attention to the weather or worry about what it's going to do next. It's been an exhausting past couple weeks here in Oklahoma, far more tragic for some than others. Lots of tornado warnings and sirens, actual tornadoes and the crazy damage they leave in their wake, downed power lines and power outages, hiding in closets and bathtubs and storm shelters, crazy thunderstorms that jolt you awake, shockingly loud emergency flash flood warnings, and very serious flooding and erosion and road closures!
This = last Monday hanging out in my closet with my phone and flashlight and pills, watching FB Live weather updates with Travis Meyer!
...and texting with Laura and Tiffany, who were hanging out with the cats in Susie's underground shelter!
I was in MWC this Memorial Day weekend, and there was a tornado warning in MWC that we were all watching closely before going to bed. Then there was an actual tornado around 1:00 AM that went through Sapulpa (very near the courthouse where I work), Jenks (very near my home), Tulsa's Woodland Hills Mall area (where friends live) and Broken Arrow (where more friends live). The power at my house was out for over 24 hours, and part of my fence was taken down by the strong winds (a neighbor has already fixed it). I am super thankful for God's protection in this crazy season, but also praying we get a break from it all! I'm hoping June will come in with fresh, happy, calm summer days!! And that I can focus on happy text notifications instead of things like this...
