Lifeless Threats and Strange Reactions ...

The nice sunny weather took a turn for the worse last afternoon as wind gathered and the rain began beating down. I wasn't going to let it stop me though!

I went to work and while I saw the weatherman had lied again about rain at 3pm, I headed to the barn to ride the pony. Wind wasn't a factor for us, neither was rain -- we are a tough duo! Following a pretty good ride, I headed back up to the barn to clean stalls, feed the pony, and head home to find me dinner. Upon cleaning my stall, I began to hear screaming and shouting, cars were rolling through the gravel driveways at warp speed, and I personally was told to evacuate the barn a tornado was coming.

I have lived in tornado alley all my life. I live in a house once where 3 tornados came right down our street. I remember the weather, the sounds, and exactly how that played out. This was not it! I also am not the kind of woman who FREAKS out over little things. Yes it was windy. Yes, it was kinda raining. NO -- there was not a tornado.

These people pulled people off of their horses and threw them in the back of a truck -- hightailing it to the safest point. People dropped their wheelbarrows full of shit in the driveway and ran, horses stood tacked up in alleyways all alone....
People were PLUM CRAZY!

I am not stupid people! I had the radio on, and let me tell you -- The day my colleagues know that a tornado is coming before the radio station will be the day pigs fly. 15 minutes after their warning the radio finally hinted that a tornado was spotted 30 miles away! Still not a big threat. I finished cleaning my horses stall (I even got him some cushy new bedding so he could sleep more comfy), fed him his dinner, got him some fresh water, and gave him an apple and talked to him for a few minues. Because life as we know it was coming to and end don't cha know!

Anyways, I headed back to the dorm to hear even more about tornados from 500 more people! I am about ready to injure those dumb blonds that are freaking out -- so I took a nice hot shower. (I guess I should be clean before the world comes to an end!)

Furthermore,
There was NO tornado!
SIRENS never went off!
I know my PONY slept well and enjoyed his dinner!
I know I slept well and enjoyed my dinner!
I sure hope those crazy people at the barn pick up their shit!
I sure hope the dumb blondes freaking out don't get an ulcer!
