Close Call?

A telephone call alerted us this afternoon that we were under a tornado warning.  The weather monitor confirmed that there had been one spotted a few miles away and that it was quickly heading in our direction.  We prepared to camp out in the utility room.  The sky was dark, the trees swayed in the wind, the rain pelted the grass mixing with hail as we continued to wait.  Then, it was over.  The sky lightened, the rain lessened, and the wind nearly ceased all together.  I'm back upstairs.  We'll hope it's passed us by for good!
