Lock Down in Wal-Mart...

Well, what a bit of excitement I had this afternoon. The day started out great...horseback riding in my friend Kate's pasture, a little exercise, and then I stopped at our Super Wal-Mart to pick up some fish for dinner. While I was shopping I could hear rain and hail outside, and remember thinking it was too bad I didn't have an umbrella with me. Right as I was finishing at the check out lane, a loud speaker announcement came on saying that Wal-mart was going into lock down mode due to a tornado warning. All of the customers were instructed to leave their carts and "quickly yet calmly" head to the back room in the warehouse. They kept us all there for about 45 min. At one point they said the sirens in the city were going off and we were right in the doppler area of the tornado! Well, I am happy to report we are all well here in Longmont, but several neighboring cities were hit with 6 tornadoes. I will keep you posted, I am off for now to listen to the news, the clouds outside are looking ominous...More later...
