The thunderstorms woke me up at 3:42 am, but my bladder kept me awake, so when I got up and went in the bathroom, away from our noisy box fan, thats when I heard the tornado sirens flaring. I woke up Jeff and we both ofcourse go look out the window :) (what you are not supposed to do). I turned on the TV as the weather guy was saying street names about 4 miles to the west of us and a second rotation about 3 miles due north of us. That woke me up. Luckily no major activity in our vicinity. And while I tease the weathermen for adding drama to every passing storm, I'm glad they gave us warning days ahead of time about the possibility, because I might not have gotten up and heard the sirens. Last time I looked news was reporting 4 deaths in Alabama. Tennessee and Arkansas faired much worse.
