You say "Tornado", I say "Light, Breezy Misting"

So, Mrs. CB and I are watching Red Mercury, a movie with Lahboob, and I decide to take a pee break. I put the flick on pause and we hear this wailing siren outside. Unknown to us, it seems a wee storm developed that had a couple funnel clouds.And Hail. And Damaging Winds of Doom!! We did the "shove the cats down the basement door" dance (with one dastardly escapee-see icon)and then watched the wind and rain as the center of the system went over our neighborhood. Never strong enough for us to hit the basement, and the electric never even flickered.

Good news- our new gutters performed marvelously and we had no downed branches or hail. No water in the basement abd the cats aren't that pissed.

Bad News- luckily, we have none. I did have to put on proper attire as I didn't want to be dug out of the basement with pj bottoms and a tee shirt with no bra on in the event a tornado DID hit us.

Looks like there might have been a funnel cloud sighting on Lane Ave (near OSU) and by the airport which is only 10 minutes away.

Storm systems on radar look like vajajays. Just saying.

Oh, and the movie was actually very interesting. Not much Lahboob, but a good little flick.

You might wonder, "What would I grab to take to the basement?" I requested my cell phone and wallet (had my briefcase nearby--partly to block the cats from escaping).
I briefly regretted having donned my cheaper jewelry.
"Jeez," I thought, "are these the only baubles I'll have left?"

Wear diamonds everyday, ladies.

Glad the tornadoes, or is it tornados, stayed away. Oh, the hell hail, too.

I didn't want to be dug out of the basement with pj bottoms and a tee shirt with no bra on in the event a tornado DID hit us.

That's my worst fear, getting caught in the same type of attire during some sort of catastrophe. I used to worry that I'd die in my 'comfy' clothes, but then decided that I'd be dead so why should I care...

Please translate "not much Lahboob" into more specific language. Is it equivalent to SM in Head of State, SM in Mr. and Mrs. Smith, or SM in The Treatment?

Be safe in that crazy Ohio weather!

She was a visible presence in many of the scenes, but only had about 3 or 4 speaking scenes in the flick.

Then it couldn't possibly have given Simone justice. Oh how everyone loves that voice. :) (and laugh)

Glad to hear no damage was done to anything, living or otherwise, despite Bruin's best efforts to escape. ("Trapped in a room with ALL of you? Hell to the no!") Hope the rest of your fair city was similarly unscathed.

Light, Breezy Misting

sounds like a douche, just saying. :)
