When I was ten there was a tornado watch for my local town. I had just moved back from Japan and tornadoes scared me silly, so my best friend and I hid in a closet in her house until the watch was lifted. It was pretty fun though, we recorded our own radio show on cassette tape we interviewed “scientists” about their latest discoveries (10 new flavors of ice cream) and even played a few A Capella songs live too (“Love Shack” by the B52s and “I Will Always Love You” by Whitney. I forgot all about the tornado and wasn’t scared at all. Since then, tornadoes have continued to fascinate (& terrify) me, so when we had a tornado watch a few weeks ago I sat out on our new porch to watch the gaseous monster roll slowly toward us. I knew nothing would come of the watch (we’re just too close to the lake) but it was beautiful to behold.
