Neither rain nor snow nor sleet nor hail… but Tornados?

My family made attempt two to see the fireworks tonight, rescheduled after last night’s big storm. Just as we were about to turn onto the road leading to the fireworks place, a police car blocked the intersection, and a whole bunch of firetrucks came rushing away from the scene. A few minutes later we heard air raid sirens, and while we were stuck at this intersection we heard the cop yell something about a tornado.

Immediately I flipped on the radio, and sure enough there was a funnel cloud spotted less than a mile or so from where we were. Luckily it was heading away from us, but it was still kinda strange! This is now my third close call with a tornado. The first was in Urbana, OH, and the second in the movie theater in Cedar Rapids, IA.

So long story short, I still haven’t seen any 4th of July fireworks this year! And it looks increasingly unlikely that I will before I leave tomorrow afternoon :-/ But I’ve still enjoyed the time here in Kettering spent with my family!
