“i cant get no, satisfaction”- rolling stones.

I am sure that there are many folks that are a little worried about the hurricane in southwest Texas and norther Mexico right now but i am not. The temperature has cooled down 20 degrees and we are finaly getting the rain that we needed so bad. The drive home last night from San Antonio, i will admit, was a little scary but the pleasantries of this storm far out weigh the dangers that sometimes come with these storms.

I asure you, I have seen my fair share of storms.

Last year my family and i had to hide in the hallway and wait for the tornadoes to pass by. We moved the couch in the hallway with us just in case the house collapsed and then we covered our bodies in pillows and blankets for protection. The tornadoes sounded like a train running through town. The town sirens were blaring, like the Pearl Harbor attack, but only for 15 minutes or so.

The weirdest part of the whole experience was the radio. The emergency  broadcasting would come on and tell us to find a solid structure in the house to hide under, away fom windows of course. Then the radio would start playing again. “I can’t get no, satisfaction..but i tried,and i tried.. i cant get no, no.no.no.”

Although i will never get use to these massive storms that charge through southwest Texas, i can say that this storm is weaker than our typical everyday storms that we get every year. So if your out there mom, dont worry about me.
