We just experience our first tornado. At 3:30 this afternoon on the way to Bayley's ice skating lessons the emergency siren sounded, we hurried to the gym and were sent to the hockey players locker rooms. We stayed there for almost an hour until it was safe to come home. We later found out that 2 tornadoes hit Kenosha, one was less than 6 miles from our house. It was right by Glenn's office (less than 1 mile). It touched down right after he closed down the office and sent everyone home. Luckily we were far enough away that we didn't have any damage. It was pretty crazy though. The siren continued to go off for the next couple of hours and every time we went down to the basement Isaac would say "The tomato is coming, the tomato is coming, we got to hurry." Funny stuff.
