What I've Been Up To

Writing! I'm three weeks away from the day I will turn in my Capstone paper and be finished with grad school. I have a solid outline and all of my research finished. I present my research tomorrow evening. Then, it's all about writing. Fortunately, writing is easy once you have a great outline.


This weekend we also got some pretty bad storms. It was interesting. We don't have a basement, so when there is a tornado we huddle in the hall closet. It got boring, so we only stayed in there for a few minutes. I can get to the hall closet in 5 seconds from anywhere in my house, so I took a chance. Besides, I like watching the storms. Everything came directly from the south, which is never a good sign. Here's what it looked like before it hit. This was at about 5:30pm, so it really is that dark from the storm.


We also got a ton of hail. Some of it was pretty large. I didn't get a good picture of all the hail,  but this is about halfway through the hail on our deck. Makes me so glad we have a garage.


Luckily, I do not think we had a confirmed tornado. Lots of rotation, though, which is why they issued tornado warnings. We got lucky this time. Unfortunately, some out east did not. Hopefully the rest of tornado seasons calms down for everyone.
