So a tornado is something to be feared. Keep your ruby slippers handy, because Kansas is going bye-bye! 😀

I for one am SO frightened by tornados! We have a weather radio and gave all our family one for warning!

I was just in Nashville. If you’re in a city you’ll hear the sirens going off, you may or may not be hiding in a bathroom of a store – with no windows – you’ll see crying panicked kids, stressed moms, and store workers yelling at people to take cover who aren’t listening! AWesome job!

I love your point about not making weather a window into the character’s soul.
