Tornado siren went off in town around 5pm. Brought the cats down to the basement for half an hour or so while talking to a family member about some network issues they were having -- so it was wasted time, anyways. The family member saw some suspicious rotation to the north of us; not sure if it ever formed anything significant, and I didn't see it because that's the direction my patio blocks the view of from the basement windows.
Then, around 7, our power went out.
I was going out to dinner with some folks anyways since the line of seriously bad stuff had passed by then. Power was back on when I got home late.
