office building
12:15 PM - WE'RE STILL ALIVE; creep back upstairs

PM - Storm's over; Todd is fighting to drive back into town through the storm
damage around our house
1:30 PM - Put Micah down for a nap in the copy
room across from my office; Todd arrives
2:30 PM - The next line of
storms is on its way, and we're not sure if we should attempt what will probably be an hour-plus
commute thanks to storm damage, or just ride it out here. We decide to head back to our house where my sister's family is waiting, since their power's out. Not sure if we'll make it before all hell breaks loose again, but we're going to try.
UPDATE
We made it home right before the next storms started in. At 4:30, an insanely large tornado passed within a quarter-mile of our house and wiped out half of our town.
