Thank you! I remember the tornado, too. One's enough for me!

It's still there if you ever want to come over for a slumber party!

Enjoyed this Polly. Lourdes would want to do the same thing. Made me think of the 1974 tornado, when I was a teenager. I had been grounded and was home alone. I had no idea what was happening. What a surprise when I eventually learned what had been happening all around me.

Wow! I live in The Bronx, which is pretty much protected against really terrible weather conditions. We get an occasional Nor'easter, which can cause blizzards in the winter, and very, very, very occasional hurricanes, which tend to be weakened by the time they get to us. So we don't tend to need to make extraordinary preparations, just take logical precautions. You are smart to make such a bedroom for yourself.
