    Wow, thanks for sharing the close call you had!

    Must have been an eye opener for sure!

    Great story to share, but you would most likely prefer to not have any more of those types of stories…hahaha

      For sure! I’ve never experienced storms as violent before moving here, so it definitely was scary. I didn’t even realize there was a chance of a tornado nearby, and was only thinking of the hail wrecking havoc on my car. I definitely never want to go through that again.

        Oh, never a good time when you experience something new, that you don’t want to!

        Have you gotten some apks/apps and turned on sms/notifications that can inform you of weather alerts around you?

        I had to sign up manally so that I can get alerts from my local agencies that handle weather and other events that I may prefer to know about, hahaha
