Tornado scare


Library appeared to be a wonderful place to stay in on a rainy day. We spent the afternoon in the library playing toys and reading some books.

After leaving the library, we headed to Target having some snack and then shopping around. Out of the sudden, a special announcement broadcasted a tornado warning was in effect and required all customers to go to the back of the store where the fire exit located. Swarm of people rushed to the fire exit hallway. Everyone was standing shoulder to shoulder and the tension in the air was creeping up. About 15 minutes later, a staff updated us that a tornado was sighted in the Calhoun county and for the safety reason all customers needed to stay put until further notice. The old lady standing next to me, who told me her old man was left at home alone, wiped tears from her eyes after she heard the news. I could tell she was worried about her old man and offered her my cell to make sure her old man was doing well. I'm glad she looked so much calm and relieved after making the phone call. We waited for another 20 minutes and finally notified that the tornado did not touch down and we're safe to leave. Thank goodness! It was quite a scare! What a relief!
