Tornado Warning

Today we had some severe thunderstorms and lots of hail. In fact, it sounded like someone was throwing rocks at the car. While we were wandering around Denver trying to figure out what direction to go and how to get back to the hotel, the tornado warnings started up. I've never been in a tornado warning before. Sirens were going off and all of a sudden it appeared there were no cars left on the road. Everybody disappeared. I think everyone was hiding in their closets or bathtubs. We learned from Yvonne that we should get in the bathtub to stay safe. So, that's what we did. It's a darned good thing that warning didn't last too long. We were wedged in together and couldn't get out!

  3. Question though. Were you guys in the bathtub on the 21st floor of the hotel? 'Cause that probably didn't do you much good. Glad you guys are safe!
