Woke me from a deep sleep.

We had weather usually accompanying tornado warnings, except this time the wind shook the house, and rain was driven horizontal. A white sheet of water, I couldn't see out the window. Large trees bent low like palms driven by a typhoon.

The normal space panic and fear would occupy was replaced by a dead calm, and decisive action. We were going to the basement NOW.

Though it amounted to nothing---just a severe T- storm, we live in the Tornado belt and had every reason to think it was going to hit.
Never seen anything that violent, ever.

I realize this pales far in comparison to Katrina, Ida, or recent tornadoes across the midwest.
