I'm fine and so is my house. The tornados have passed but we are still having heavy rain and now the concern is flash flooding. The schools are closed and the latest cell phone alert describes it as a "dangerous and life threatening situation" and says "do not attempt to travel unless you are fleeing an area subject to flooding or under an evacuation order." My house is on a slight hill and not at flood risk, and although I am delaying going to work I'm hoping to do so as soon as it clears up a bit. And I do know enough about flooding that I won't drive through standing water or downed power lines!
