Reactions to a Tornado warning



+1 second since receiving Warning in middle of the night
Ehh, bullshit tornados never hit us.

+10 seconds
Now I'm awake.

+30 seconds 
That really sounds bad out there. What if it actually is a tornado?

+60 seconds
I'm going to get out of bed to check this out. Get out of bed and stand by the window.

+2 minutes
Stand by the window. This could be it.. finally an affluent area getting hit by a tornado. I'm not going to miss this.

+5 minutes 
Honestly I have no idea what to do in a tornado warning. Google tornado warning. Learn the safest room is in the basement away from windows.

+6 minutes 
Stand by bedroom window looking for tornado.

+8 minutes 
    Ask family to move to basement to which family does not. Continue looking out the window.

+10 minutes
     Decide the safest course of action is to move to the basement without family. On the way down grab the last donut from the kitchen, because why die and waste a donut.

+12 minutes
Once in the basement check twitter for updates on Tornado warning and learn that the warning has now expired.

+13 minutes 
Decide to blog your actual boring tornado experience.

14+ minutes 
Lay awake wonder how you will get back to sleep.
