Situation: Tornado sirens are going off.
Tea time: Living in the Midwest I do have a bit of an overly cavalier attitude towards tornado warnings, because we have them all the time, but you really should get to safety when they tell you. Never mind the "tornado" that touched down was weak, and they predicted any others would be F-0 wind speeds (we get straight-line winds stronger than that), it was a block from my house, so I did go to the basement. Luckily, our basement is finished and we have an electric teakettle down there.
Tea type: Darjeeling, because it was the box out on the counter.
Hello, spring! Hello, storms! Hello, tornado warnings!
The weather really is the one drawback to living here, and the main reason I'd really like to move. On the up side, we did get some much-needed rain. On the down side, it all fell in a couple of hours - all 3 1/2 inches of it. That may not be much in places that are used to monsoons, but we don't normally get that here. On the down side, lots of flooding means a fun-filled day at work. Yay!
