As I explained in my last post, there are a lot of tornadoes in Kansas. We lived in a wood frame two bedroom house with no basement. The houses across the street were made of brick and had basements. Whenever the tornado warning sirens went off, usually in the middle of the night, mom or dad would wake us up, we'd put on our robes and shoes and run across the street to take shelter in their basement. The grown-ups were mostly just visiting and were listening to the radio for updates on the storm. Us kids were having a ball. Afterall, we were up in the middle of the night and we were over at our friends house playing!! What a rare treat to little kids!
Fortunately, we never got hit by any of the tornadoes.

Yep, nothing quite like tornado siren to bring out the fun in a party! I can remember huddling in our hallway in Oklahoma. Well, I'd huddle. You were usually looking out the back slider, trying to see a tornado! lol
