We're just coming out from tornado and thunderstorm warnings. I haven't heard of any injuries or damage anywhere and most of the storm passed us by. Most of these spring storms seem to follow the same pattern. They split into two parts, one part goes just north of us along the Ohio River and the other part goes just south of us. As much as I want need to move into a larger house, the micro-weather pattern here is one benefit of staying where we are.
Good thing the worst of it passed us. There were reports of large hail and if it had hailed on my new car.... Not that I think hail damage is more dangerous than a tornado or that I don't take the warnings seriously*, the odds of hail just seemed higher than the odds of a tornado.
*By taking it seriously I mean that I told the kids to take cover. I stayed in the kitchen and made chess bars. I don't like my plans to be interrupted and I kept the TV on just in case.
Update: There are some reports of damage coming in. Not sure whether or not there have been any injuries or how severe the damage is yet.

I think I might go back to France until spring decides to settle in here.

It hasn't snowed in Louisville but the cold weather is a big change from temperatures in the high 70s last week. Thunderstorms, I expect here. If I had come home to snow I would have gotten back on the plane. Easter's over, Derby is just a couple of weeks away, I want sunshine and warm spring weather, darn it!
