Thursday, people had posted on Facebook about the bad weather that was expected for today. After what happened in April of last year, I decided I would pay attention to the warnings this time. Pretty soon after I woke up, I heard that a tornado was heading straight for my hometown and my high school in particular (someone there apparently wasn't watching the weather, the students and teachers were all in the school!). To read more about the storms in Huntsville and read more about the damage to my high school, click here.
I spent most of my time Friday stressing about the weather and reading updates from home, but around 9:00 in the evening, I realized that I should write about it for this journal. Here is the radar and weather update from that time.
It's bizarre for it to be raining so hard and still feel hot outside. That's how it felt all day Friday: hot, humid, and sticky. I hated it. Thankfully, no major storms hit in this area. So, around midnight, some friends and I decided it would be a fun idea to go play in the rain.
UPDATE SATURDAY: Now, it's cold outside! It's so strange that yesterday I was wearing shorts outside and playing in the rain in the dark and today I can't go outside without a sweatshirt. I suppose this is a result of the rain? Or was the cause of the storm a cold front coming here? I really need to research how cold/warm fronts work.
