We had our first tornado warning of 2022 yesterday evening.
The one before that? Christmas-ish 2021.
Global weirding is in full force here.
I had to clean up a couple of trim pieces from the house and rescue one dog bed (the one that puppy didn’t try to eat earlier in the day) from the wind.
December and late-October tornado warnings are unsettling. Wildfires in our area and near Ranchhands 1 and 2 (Lincoln) also concern me. Worrying about all of this after freeze warnings have killed off the garden is especially disconcerting.
Let’s hope this is just a blip in our small part of history.
I’m not ready for Thanksgiving tornado warnings.
How are weather-like things in your part of the world?
