Storms, storms, storms


All over the US, especially in the Midwest, we have been hit with severe storms and tornados. So far those of us in Fargo have been pretty lucky, but we did get our taste last night. About 8:15 the sirens went off and we scrambled to grab the radio, blankets and get downstairs to the closet under the stairs. Katie cried, Meghan was on the verge and Ryan slept 1/2 the time we were down there. We listened to the radio - there were funnel clouds spotted and high winds. About a half an hour later the storm passed and we all went back up stairs. Ryan by this time figured things out and he was scared too. We were treated with some beautiful rainbows though.
The kids had a late night. We had to get Ryan back to sleep and Katie came to our room in the middle of the night scared. It rained this afternoon and Ryan freaked out that the tornado was coming back. Summer has arrived though. We are getting the basement closet prepared better in case there is a next time. Let's hope not!

Here are the pictures of the rainbow.
