enamouredI was at work yesterday when the severe weather started. Our power flickered out for a minute around 1:20, so they started handing out flashlights just in case. I have one on my key ring, so I went back to the break room to get it out of my locker. Someone had turned the TV on to Fox, and they were saying that there was a tornado warning, and one of the women from apparel said that there had been a tornado sighting a few miles west of The Store.
I've been scared of tornadoes for my whole life (so much so that when my dad first told us we were moving to Texas, all I could think about besides Why Texas?! was OH GREAT, WE ARE MOVING TO WHERE THERE ARE TORNADOES), but for some reason I didn't panic. We didn't shut down, for reasons that I do not understand, but we did let a family come in to the break room so that they could watch the news. One of the boys was looking kind of terrified, though. His mom pretty much had to tell him to sit down, which made me feel completely awful. I sent my mom a text to let her know that I was there and that I'd call her if things got worse/when I went on break.
My side of town (home, plus the area around the mall and The Store) was fine. It was just an absurdly long day, even though we were slow the whole time. I more or less came straight home, took a shower, and watched stuff on Netflix until I went to sleep. I'm starting to watch Avatar: The Last Airbender again. I'd only seen about two or three episodes before, and now I'm up to 7 or 8. It's good! And funny! (How'd I forget that it was funny?)
Finally: thanks for all the movie suggestions! Even if I don't use them all for the paper, it'll give me more than enough to watch later on.
