Another landmark

It's 4:30 in the morning. I woke up to almost continuous lightning and claps of thunder too close to echo the way ot usually (in my limited experience) does. Not too much later the warning sirens sounded. Tornado warning sirens. We are very glad it's 4:30 AM and we are indoors. The rain is pounding down, the wind is whistling. Too much excitement, even inside.
