Stupid Tornados
Lovely, LOVELY storm system that plowed through Virginia this weekend apparently decided to drop a tornado behind our house. I heard it, and we promptly got into the "panic room".
Didn't realize that it actually WAS one until I spoke to my neighbor about it afterwards. One of our cats got out, and we'd been outside screaming for her, and our neighbor peeked outside to try and help. She looked up, saw the tornado touch down, and she promptly got the heck out of dodge at that point and went into her hallway closet.
Thankfully, we're all fine, our house wasn't even damaged, but everyone AROUND us was. Its crazy, cannot figure out how we managed to come out ok, but everyone around us got whomped.

Really glad you're ok. I got a call from the parental units this morning checking to see if we got hit by the storm and my response was "there was a storm?" I guess we were far enough north to get missed.
As for you being undamaged but everyone else hit, welcome to a tornado. They're about as random as Discord. A friend of mine up in Michigan got away with minimal damage when one went through his neighborhood, while his neighbors were almost completely destroyed.
Just glad you're safe, dear.

You're telling me. Next door neighbor on one side had a tree driven through the front windshield of his car....guy on the other side had two trees fall on their place. People in front, hole in their roof now.
One of the "branches" that fell on our roof is quite literally a foot thick, I'm completely floored it didn't cause a massive amount of damage.
Counting my blessings here, and thanking the Lord profusely. geeeeh.

My guess is karma.
You deal with so much crap in a professional capacity that Mother Nature just doesn't want to be on your shit-list.

Ah yeah, we found her shortly after the tornado, I heard a frantic MROAAAAAAW at the back door, and she about bowled me over getting back in. She probably got a good look at the tornado.

Except we know Seraph is Enemy of Nature. It's Father Weather not wanting to cross her.

Even a tornado knows whom not to fuck with.
Glad to hear kitty is OK. Poor things. *Sends petting and loving her way*
