Many of us love a storm. It is wise to have things ready in case it gets awful, but so far, and I am old enough to remember several decades, storms and tornadoes have never personally hurt me or mine.

It is wise to remember that it is very likely that no harm will come to you and have some wine and watch the light show and look at the deep colors of the clouds and hear the thunder.

If you really can't bear all that sturm und drang, go to your interior walk in closet and put on your headphones and if possible take a person who you enjoy with you and a deck of cards and a candle.

Usually storms here don't last very long, and remember what Cappy Jon and others have said about Hurricanes. They are more trouble on the coasts.

It's all good.
