It's been too long.
I missed CS.
A tornado watch has been issued for DFW until 7am. Coming through @ 2::30ish (2:37am) for DFW.
Who wants to try to NOT panic w/me for 7 hours? Alerts came through right before midnight. As everyone sleeps.
"Just work on your anxiety" they said.
Oh, and somehow also get some sleep so I can function tomorrow
*kid, partner, & 2 dogs sleeping through this*
*this is fine dog but in a tornado* 🌪 #texasTornados #abbottFailedTexas
Y'all know who is NOT falling asleep easily tonight?
In a tornado watch issued for 7 hrs?!?
ME.
Don't panic, right? Cool, cool, cool.
There’s a wide gap between watch and warning. Hope this helps:

@GlytchMeister Ho Lee Shit.
I’m overly anxious, working with therapy for my PTSD, and my kiddo has had a weird phobia of tornadoes since he was 3.
I hope he stays sleeping through this.
Both dogs are up with me now. They’re calm so I’m trying to stay calm. I’m not great at calling the F down sometimes. I’m working on it. Thank you for your kindness.
Yeah, it took me a while to stop freaking out whenever they tested the sirens and whenever a strong storm rolled through.
I still keep an eye on storms and I refuse to rent (or, in the future, buy) a place with no basement, but now that I know a fair amount about tornados, I can pretty well tell when it’s time to hunker down and when it isn’t.
@GlytchMeister that's understandable. I still hate the sirens every Wednesday.
I'm going to watch this until about 4 and then try to sleep before having to get kid up for school before 7. Yay!
