Last night at 3:15am - ish we were awakened by the tornado sirens. We both jumped out of bed. Josh ran to the computer to check to see if the sirens were legitimate. There was a formal warning for Ankeny, so I grabbed Kenna out of bed, and Josh grabbed Rylee. We ran downstairs and moved into the back of the tornado shelter. Kenna fell asleep immediately, but we were on edge. A few minutes later the sirens stopped, and Josh went to check things out. After the warning expired we all went back to bed. This morning we discovered that almost everything that is outside is all over the yard, the garden has been mostly knocked over, and Kenna's sand toy completely flipped over....there were winds in excess of 80 mph...it was pretty scary! The first time we have ever gone to the basement before!
Drake called us as soon as the sirens started going off to warn of the tornado danger. Kind of cool that my tuition is going towards something like that :)
All is well, and as far as I can tell it was just a warning, but scary none the less!
