A short story of preparedness by Dr. Marica, Full Professor in the Department of Redundancy Department.

Rocky is set to alert, as is the weather radio. Everything that’s chargeable– including the chargeable things I use to charge other things– was charged yesterday. Tornado room floor cleared of power tools needed for yesterday’s project. Kitchen clean. Bath towels washed, dried, & put away. Small flashlight (made in USA, I see) in right
That word gets used a lot more than usual this time of year. I have no real evidence for this claim. I’m just offering a hypothesis based on observation: “And then, in an instant, it was gone.” Tornado. I have no idea how to measure an instant, but I do know that one should not
I, for one, am going to readjust what I’d planned to wear the next few days. At times like these, it’s important to consider footwear. Let’s imagine a blustery day in late April. The tornado sirens sound. You and 30-50 others are in a lecture hall at That School Up North. You must quickly and calmly
too much, but our Country Mouse Borrow is sort of Big. There’s a lot of space to patrol. As I was patrolling, I ran into Miss M. and it was the funniest thing. Does it surprise you that we both had flashlights in our hip pockets? There it goes out again. And again. Rocky is

down the Natchez Trace Parkway between Tupelo and Mathiston. We’ll see some lovely countryside and some of the damage done to it by tornadoes in April, 2011. A few tings before we get going… 1) No commercial vehicles allowed. But recreational vehicles are okay. 2) Speed limit 50mph. But 60mph is okay. 3) Guns are
I bought two more yesterday. $4.63 to the children; $0.32 to the state I love The Palmer Home Thrift Store where every penny I spend except those that go to the Sovereign State of Mississippi goes to The Palmer Home for Children in Columbus, Mississippi.

15 seconds This popped up to the west and tracked north east, so we didn’t catch any of it, but I bet they did a few miles up the road! As I was on my way to Starkvegas this afternoon, I passed a lot of County and Emergency Management vehicles out and about– I’m guessing
