Tornado Warnings

I woke up thinking "I can do this... I can get out of bed... I've got to get to class."  After slowly making my breakfast, getting ready, and walking out the door, I noticed it looked like rain.  While making the trip over to Kingsport, it started raining really hard.  It wasn't too hard that I had lots of difficulty, but the wind was starting to pick up.  I made it to the Regional Center of Health Pros and parked.

Brandon walked up and told me that class was cancelled!  WHAT?!  I feel like there should be a system that tells students when class is cancelled (especially when everyone has to drive so far)!  After briefly talking to Melanie, I got back into my car and started home.

This time, the wind and rain had picked up much more.  The wind would try to push me off the road and the rain made it extremely arduous to see.  Swarms of leaves would surround our cars in order to intimidate us.  My Mom called and told me there was a tornado warning.  With a wild storm around me, you can imagine how comforted I was with this information.  By this time, I was making it closer to my exit.  Once I was on the ramp, I thought things would be better... easier.  I was wrong.

There was more water to go through.  Trees were in the road along with construction supplies.  While I was turning left for the last leg of my journey, there was a traffic cone upside down (right in front of me).  I thought I had run over it, but after pulling into my parking lot and backing into my parking space (I'm guessing about a quarter mile from where I had run over it--maybe less), I found the cone.  It had made it through turning and speed bumps!  How?  I have no clue!  Its still behind my house.  Some ladies at the JCMC told me I should decorated it as a witch for Halloween.  Who knows what I'll do with it, but I can't put it back where it was... In the middle of the street?  I don't think so.

No class... and no sleeping late.  Not even a nap.  I can't sleep now!  Guess I'll go run errands and deal with a non-guest.  Exciting day!... really, not sarcastic!  ;)
