Where were you when the tornado hit?

There's nothing like a tornado in the evening and a serene white puffy cloud in the morning to remind you of the power of mother nature.

Olney-ites experienced a rare treat last night - a tornado touched down nearby. You heard me. A tornado.

My friend called me, "Hey you're in the know in Olney, where did the tornado touch down?"
"Huh?" A tornado hit Olney?"

Another friend wrote, "This isn't Kansas!"

As I was trying to make my way home from Rockville, my husband corralled my daughters, dog, and cat into a utility closet in the basement (aka "Mommy's closet") to wait out the warning. Apparently Pizza the cat did not like that much. Nor did the 15 year old who kept yelling, "We're going to die, we're going to die!"

Thursday, June 13, 2013 will forever be known in Olney as, "Where were you when the tornado hit?"

Luckily Olney didn't experience any damage (except for those 30 trees that were knocked down by the tornado). And today, we got to experience the most beautiful, cool and breezy day, and white puffy cloud-filled sky.  What a gift!

Go figure.
