Oh nos! Tornadoes!

So about 5:40 this morning, I'm puttering past heat treat in my scooter when the take cover (aka tornado) sirens go off. After herding my folks into the bathroom (aka the storm shelter) we proceed to just hang out in there for about 25 minutes. It was very uncomfortable - 15 people jammed into a single stall bathroom, sweaty...it was very humid and at least 100 degrees in the space. By the time we poured out a bit after 6, most of us looked like freshly boiled lobsters. On the bright side, the shop was about 15 degrees cooler after the storm and wave two of the front that came rolling through wasn't nearly as bad. At least we weren't hit by a tornado and thankfully, no one had to poop!
