I had been doing really good at keeping my anxiety at bay until today. While driving with my mom and Dakota, headed home, we started getting really strong storms and tornado warnings. Our local dispatch was sending out emergency warnings telling everyone to seek shelter immediately. We were about 15-20 minutes from home but with the really strong winds and rain we had to be extra cautious and take our time getting home.

**This tornado was literally 15 minutes from our home. It was weak rotation and thankfully never touched the ground. My poor little town hasn’t had a tornado since the 80s.
