So apparently at least 3 tornadoes touched down in my area today. One near my house. It went from being sunny to instant rain/hail blocking all vision from the window. About 5 minutes later it was over. Nothing significantly damaged at my house, but my neighbor lost part of their privacy fence and a tree fell on their house. A house around the corner had a tree fall on their house and their car. The governor declared a state of emergency for the region.
In more pleasant news, I am the fastest swimmer in my lifeguard cert class.
