At 11:30 PM a small thunderstorm blew into Dallas as I snuggled into bed. If it wasn’t for the lightening, I probably wouldn’t have known that a thunderstorm was even going on it was so quiet and relaxed. I was the last one into bed and the soft sound of rain was peaceful as I drifted off to sleep. However, at 1:30 AM…

Me: (shaking David in bed) Babe! Babe! Is that the tornado sirens?
David: (mainly still asleep) Huh? Uh, I don’t know what that is
Me: Yeah, it totally sounds like the tornado sirens. That can’t be right, it barely even rained.
David: (getting shorts and t-shirt on) Hang on, I’ll go check.

I hear the door open, shut and then nothing. I sat in bed for a minute but the sirens stopped and I was sleepy so I fell back to sleep. At 2:30 AM David comes back to bed.

David: You awake?
Me: sort of
David: Um, we almost died.
Me: WHAT?!
David: Yeah a tornado was close by, but see how I keep us all safe?
Me: Yeah, totally. Good job!
