[QUOTE="slsh, post: 163280, member: 8"] LOL, Marcie - have to laugh - if the Weather Channel goes off mid-beep, that means we're in *big* trouble and I just cover the kids with my body. Also means husband is in even *bigger* trouble because he still hasn't put together the doggone generator that I insisted he buy after we lost power for 3 days in 9/2007 and our basement flooded because sump pump was dead!! :rofl: I like to have the WC on because the stupid sirens were not blowing when the tornado hit our part of the world. Really steams me. The thing was on the ground for quite a while and not a peep out of the sirens when they *should* have been going off. WC gives really good info and we don't come out of the basement until the radar shows the storm is past us. I like to keep track of where and when they're predicting the twister to be so I have an idea of when to unclench. We had 3 moderate earthquakes while we lived in WA state - actually, the little ones I don't mind at all - think the sound and rocking is actually kinda amazing. We had one here a couple weeks back - I was awake and didn't even notice it, LOL. I just don't want to have to endure a big one, a la Northridge or the San Francisco quake in '89. [/QUOTE]
