Storms a'brewin'.

I put the kids to bed tonight and when I came downstairs it was extremely dark.  It didn't seem stormy-dark at first, though, just like it was later than I thought or something.  But it was actually stormy-dark.  There was a large, black cloud hovering over our subdivision.  It had a donut hole in the middle and then a scary little section on the side that kept changing really quickly.  I reallllly don't like being the only grown up home when this kind of thing happens.  I was home alone when a tornado struck nearby (I was 12 or 13 at the time) and ever since then, this kind of thing always sends me to the basement to take cover.  Which is difficult to do when I'm weighing the options of waking up 2 sleeping kids and taking cover with them and the dogs, vs. waiting it out a little longer. Turns out the storm wasn't so bad afterall and I didn't have to worry about it for long.
