Winter Excursion 1, Day 75

Lots of BIG thunderstorms and tons of rain last night and this morning. Rain started around 0300 and lasted until 1200. Lots of thunder and lightning. As I write this we are getting yet another big storm and it is pouring. We are under a tornado watch until 0300 tomorrow morning. I guess we traded the snow back home for severe weather.
Ran a quick few errands and headed back to Ronnie & Carol's. Helped Ronnie take down a dead oak tree. He got his tree down and cleaned up and we got some firewood.
We went to a really nice Mexican restaurant for dinner and came back to their house and yakked some more about old times.
As another storm is on the way we headed back to the camper and made it just before the heavy rain hit. Lots of lightning and thunder. Kaylee is having a hard time with all the noise.
Again no pics, the weather has not been conducive to picture taking.
We are off to Kevin and Kim's (military old friends) tomorrow.
Off to bed listening to the thunder and rain on the camper.
Have to put an addendum on this post: 30 seconds after I pushed "publish" the sirens went off. We are just back from spending 45 minutes in the campground bathroom as that is the only "hard structure" in the area. Flash flooding all around but no tornadoes in this immediate area.
I think I'll have another drink!
