Tornado

I hope Delaney is OK. After watching 30 minutes of coverage, I stopped and decided to try and relax. This is a picture from our front porch about an hour ago, looking south, slightly East. That's where Delaney is.

Tia noticed it outside, and we took a few pictures, then popped on the news, checking to see. They listed it as SE of Elizabeth, but W of Elbert. Delaney is about 2-3 mi S of Elbert, at the Peaceful Valley scout ranch. I guess our Prius is down there as well. Kendall said she hoped the Prius was OK, I'm more worried about the kid.

There aren't any reports of damages, and there's nothing we can do. If it's going to touch down there, we'd be heading right into the path of it. Plus there are tornado sirens that the Sheriff said had been set off. I'm sure the staff down there knows how to handle things and there are lots of shelters on the property with no windows. My guess is merit badges were cancelled this afternoon with kids being locked down for a few hours while things pass.

Kind of exciting, kind of scary. Tia said that this was more exciting than the one last year, but I disagree. We saw that one come down from the clouds and touch the ground, kicking up dirt.
