So many bloggers are going to be affected by severe weather in the next few days, if they haven’t been already. Everyone stay weather aware and keep your bicycle helmets, motorcycle helmets, football, baseball, and riding helmets handy. They advise as always that you use a mattress to protect your head if need be. I’d like to add to those recommendations…put a metal pot on your head, Strap, or duct tape, two iron skillets over your ears. I’m sort of kidding, but sort of not…KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE SKY!
Hugs to everyone and stay safe!

Terrible weather…the problem with a tornado is that it just pops up out of clouds..there one minute, gone the next….hurricanes show that they’re coming long before they get there and you have plenty of time to get out of the way…with the tornadoes, you can watch the weather stations and stay aware and one can still form extremely rapidly….

I’m currently visiting family in south Mississippi, we haven’t had any of the rough stuff as yet, but may be in for some tonight/tomorrow. I’d be happy if it would just pass us by.

I really think we’ll be on the edge of the heaviest stuff, and should be fine. Of course, we’re prepared and keeping a close eye on the weather. Will definitely keep you updated. Meanwhile, YOU stay safe and keep posting images – especially of that bike helmet!

Sunday afternoon we had storms come through eastern IA. They dumped 1.5″ in 30 minutes. Then, kept raining for a total of 2.3″. Along with it was 50 mph wind. Lots of small stream and street flooding.
Pay attention to your weather.

Things look quiet here for now. Not so much to the east. And Arkansas got hammered with several deaths.

I’m going to post a picture of my “Tornado helmet” today….Lots of deaths are from head injuries…so they recommend that you keep a bike helmet, etc. close by…those types of headgear have saved a few people in the last few years…one little boy was lifted twenty-feet into the air and landed on his head…buy he was wearing his football helmet and he had no serious injuries…I used to have my kids put their bike helmets on even when we were down in the basement during tornado warnings….quite a few years ago…since my daughter’s now getting married..BUT…she has her bike helmet in her closet right now….(I gave it to her for her birthday last year.)

I will be careful nia…It’s going to be a rough couple of days I’m afraid…..I hope that other people will listen to the warnings and go to safety..it seems that too many people want to go out and SEE the tornadoes up close and they are causing traffic jams and then people are stuck in the bad weather in their cars! Foolish!!!
