Tornado, Schmornado

There was some severe weather here this past weekend.  I have a long history of being terrified of storms.  Up until about 5 months ago,  I would not even drive in rain. I spent most of my childhood in the bathtub with a mattress on my head.

This weekend we were in the metro station when the storms hit.  We knew due to the volume of wet people coming off the escalators.  The entrance to the mall is in the station, so there was no need for us to go outside.  Once we got inside the mall, Tosh checked the weather on his phone.  He said, "whoa there is a tornado nearby."

So here is what would be expected,  I should have panicked.  I should have been in a compete tizz going into Sleepy's mattress shop and throwing bedding over my family.

Here is basically what really happened:
Tosh: "Whoa, there is a tornado nearby." Me: "Do you like this shirt in red or black?"

We were in Forever 21, my new favorite store, and I really wasn't scared that there was a tornado.   Not that I didn't care because of the store but because we were in the metro level of a shopping mall.  We were in the most ideal situation, being way underground. It perhaps, was the most rational thought I have ever had.

I think I will still be scared of storms.  The lesson learned is, put me in a basement and I am fearless.
