Tornados and Girls

Modern technology allows for really advanced warning.  Such a blessing! 
We have known days in advance of the severe weather on its way. 
Along with the advance warning it is possible to secure survival stuff and belongings you want to protect as much as possible.
Nothing like when I was little.  The sirens would go off and you took cover.  No worries about the stuff in your life. 
This mom thinks about medicine, dog food, water, a cell phone, financial information.
With 45 minutes to spare before the storm hits, I realized I had a 15 year old daughter and a 10 year old daughter.  Clearly identifiable by their priorities 
The 15 year old daughter takes care of the basic of needs and then makes sure she secures her hair styling equipment and makeup. 
The 10 year old daughter grabs her pillows, stuffed animals, blankets and crocheting. 
The brothers.....  well 2 of them are asleep on the basement couches.  Hockey Player makes sure the flashlights are in working order.
