Naturdal disaster...?

Everyone has been kind of crazy today with all the tornado sirens and everything. I don't know why everyone gets so freaked out anytime they hear there's a tornado warning. I mean really, it's Memphis...this kind of weather always happens. Everyone got all excited thinking school would be cancelled....and yeah it was for the night; AFTER most classes were already over. People make too big a hype over this stuff. I admit it gets kind of creepy when the sirens go off and the sky is black, but people freak out so muc that they don't use common sense. I was at the post office applying for a passport when the sirens started going off and it was raining really hard. They closed the doors and so we were pretty much locked in the post office. I guess I wasn't really freaking out because I've been through tornados before. I know the drill. I guess I just don't really think anything bad is going to happen. You never really do until something happens. So I guess until I get swept away by a tornado, heaven forbid, I'm not really going to freak out about it.

[ok so I just spent 20 minutes sitting in the hallway waiting for something to happen...nothing did]

this just proves my point. They made us all go sit in the hall for no reason. They don't know what they're doing. I really just don't know what else to say about the situation. This is so stupid.

Yesterday, I thought the same way about the tornado than you. I did not take it seriously and actually I went to the post office at 4 p.m. After I heard today that 45 people died I changed my mind. Even in Germany, the news reported about the tornado and my family and friends called and wrote me because they were concerned that something happened to me. I was a little bit scared after all this trouble just because of this “small” tornado.

yeah i totally see where your coming from but at the same time i have expereinced first hand the damage that something liek a tornado can cause. not only did i expereince the tornado that hit clarksville and destroyed the down town area i also moved to san antonio texas the year that the floods hit and we lost almost everything because of it. so i ahve learned to never take any sort of dangeous whether as a "joke" because a little bit of bad wheter can cause lots of people to die and you never know when you might and op being one of those people.
