God Bless those power workers.
We didn't have tornado warnings, just severe thunderstorm warning. Turned out, the leading edge of the storm was pretty severe, but luckily the rest was mostly rain. Which was a relief, since the warning said winds up to 60 mph, and large hail were possible. We are on a slab, so, no basement.
