Nothing like being woken up at 6 in the morning by the sound of a tornado siren blaring in the night. I originally thought it was part of a dream I had, or just one of those tests the EMS does every so often. It took awhile until reality hit me and I turned on the TV. Had a tornado warning for Charlestown, Indiana..which is just north of me.
\nApparently the secondary line that was supposed to just bring another dose of rain for the area, the strong winds helped give the storms a ‘pit stop’ of fuel and they grew in intensity. This proves that you don’t need daylight for severe weather. The warning was caused by a ‘notch’ in this squall line (which is actually common). Infact there were several of these notches. Thankfully there were none that went through us.
\nI feel bad waking up to a siren. I feel I wasn’t weather-ready, because they clearly say to not<\/em><\/strong> use a siren to alert you if severe weather is coming(especially if the tornado is already on top of you before you even realize it). Lucked out that time. Next time I might not get so lucky.
\nBut if it wasn’t for the siren, I would’ve never woken up.<\/p>\n

As the old phrase goes, how storms tend to “roar in like a Lion” on March 1st, this was no exception. Because I definitely heard the sound of a lion’s roar(aka the wind) as the storms got closer to me. This lasted for nearly five minutes until the rain started coming down in buckets. Somehow, we kept our power. Yet not everyone was lucky as there were reports of power outages in areas to the north and in Louisville.
\nDefinitely dodged the bullet with this long night and morning. I imagine anyone in the path of these dangerous storms that hopefully didn’t lose their house, are going to be sleeping like a baby tonight.
\nAlso, tomorrow at exactly 3:30pm EST, on my General blog, I’ll have a new post going up about the five year anniversary of the March 2nd, 2012 tornado outbreak (and my..fearful thoughts on it).
\nToday, the National Weather Service will be doing their standard preliminary damage checks of all the areas that were reported to be damaged by last night’s storms. Already they’ve discovered signs of 80-90MPH wind damage in some places in Kentucky. Wow.<\/p>\n

.
\nAs for Wurm, last night I said Day 5 would be the final day of being on Celebration, and moving on to Pristine (with Release and Xanadu being the final two). I don’t expect anything (like meeting up with one of the locals to show me something) to happen as it did in Exo and Deli. But, you never know. I didn’t expect it on Exo, and look what happened; I learned how to kill trolls (and that hell horses can be ridden on(…somehow)).
\nAs for my opinion so far on the server, I really like it. It’s not like Deli, but it’s better than Exo. Plus it made me close enough to want to move in. That’s a really, really good sign.
\nThe good news is (for right now) there’s nothing major (weather-wise) coming anytime soon. So the only interruptions that might happen is other means.
\nOne last thing of news to pass on. If you’re not aware yet, the Wurm forum is currently down as they’re switching to a new host. It seems this is taking longer than expected, but it’s pretty obvious it’ll be back up soon(TM).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
