First thing to do during tornado season is set up your hidey hole.
get a generator
put a sewing machine down in the basement.
hook up your machine to the generator.
most important...have some sort of exhaust pipe on the generator leading to the outside. (you don't need to be inhaling carbon monoxide fumes while you sew.)
When you see cows flying outside your windows and when you hear freight trains when you live miles from any railroad tracks head for the basement with your project........oh and remember to usher the family down there too..:P
