Tornado Weather

TORNADO
Doesn’t everyone want to get out of school; whether it be a snow day or random storm that will cancel school? I know I do, I can not wait until spring break that I am actually wishing a storm upon Memphis. The bad thing is, this time it might actually be bad? I just got done with all my classes when I heard the news about all classes and campus activities canceled for today AFTER 2:30 (after all my classes are done for the day, my luck!) I just heard a siren and was wondering if it were the tornado sirens. Then I heard the slightest bit of talking and remembered that it is part of the security plan; even though you can only hear it if you are in the vicinity of 50 ft.
I think the reason that I have never been very scared about tornadoes and truthfully only worked up about the occasion is because I or anyone close to me has never been effected (knock on wood.) It is not that I am actually excited about TORNADOS at all, it is more the fact that it just changes our regular routine. It is really weird because I was born on April 4 and the night before I was born there was a tornado warning. Every year since then, there has been a tornado warning the night before my birthday. Trust me I am not wishing for any bad weather at all, just maybe a false alarm kind of thing that will get us out of school that’s all!

I feel so bad for wanting a tornado warning too. I just want a little false alarm to get out of school. Those are the best because you do not have to worry about making work up. And that thing about your birthday is crazy. You need to tell me if it happens again this year. Actually, don't, because it will probably freak me out! Haha

I think sometimes we would do anything to get out of a day of school. Ha. That is so weird about the night before you were born. It is sort of creepy. I am not even going to lie because I was scared when the sirens started going off and I was at home with my ten year old cousin. He freaked out and I was just trying to calm him down and myself.
