I think I made nette worry a lot today and since myspace won't let her I wanted to message her on the board but then I decided to tell all of you how insane iam!
You might be able to laugh!
So some things just don't mix, like me and tornadoes, it just doesn't go well
The first time I had a tornadoe expereience was march 12, the first time I met bayside, at tower records, after that I went to china town and had a blast with my closest friends here in america
Before we left our chinese food it started to rain but we didn't see that, yet. We run to the subway station and got soked!
Then we had to go from the subway to the trainstation, all my friends had to go to a different one than I did
There was this storm going on, I never ever saw something like that, I was soked like never before
In the train I listend to my ipod and didn't wonder why the train stopped so often
Finally, I was in my car, turn on the radio, there was no music on no channel!
But do you think I listen to what they have to say?
I was half way home, drove already about 15 minutes when I listend to the guy, it was a freaking tornadoe warning! He yelled at me to go to the next house possible!
Of course I kept on going .... Nothing happend that night except a lot of bad storms
But then today, I'm insane, I put myself and my kids in so much danger today its insane!
I picked up one of my kids and she gave me a football jersey with the number 77 on it, 7 is my lucky number, now people say we survived because of my jersey ....
Well we went home and did her homework as it starts to rain and I'm thinking about the boy I take care of, he was at football practice, but I knew he would call if I should pick him up, the rain got worse and worse!
It was crazy! The sky changes so quickly!
My boy called, I put my kid in the car and we here sirens and I'm all like "oh its a thunderstorm warning"
I drive out of the garage and I never heard a noise like the rain hitting the car!
It was SOOO loud!
But I kept driving!
The school is just 5 minutes away
One time we almost got stuck on a flooded street
We didn't see! We only saw inches!
We had to yell at each other and still had a hard time understanding each other!
We reach the school
There are more cars in line, they all just came, one coach runs from car to car and I say to my girl "oh look how nice he is! He asks for the names so the guys don't have to wait outside" the coach is soaking!
He almost reaches our car when I see that in front of me mothers pull their kids out of the cars and run inside the school, the coach reaches "get in the building we have a thunderstorm warning!"
Ok so I grab my kid and run!
We are inside and my boy was happy to see me and his friends too because their parents weren't there
Then I called my host, imagin someone calling you saying "hey I'm with your kids and a tornado might come"
We were all sitting in the hallway, waiting, its just a warning right? So everything is good
Suddenly
Someone yells
I didn't even understand what
Everybody gets in that weird tornado posission that I didn't even know until today!!
I had all those kids around me, everybody trying to get as close as possible to me, they were all so scared, some cried, I didn't know what to do! I felt helpless!
Those kids wanted my help they thought they'll die, I wrapped my arms around them as much as I could and talked to them but still!
Then, someone talked, there was a tornado! Its coming towards us!
We were sitting there waiting for it to hit!
There are no freaking tornadoes in germany .... Almost never
It took forever as someopne comes and yells "down down get down!"
In that moment I freaked out!
And then "its turning its turning it might not hit"
In the end it didn't, but it was so close!
I can walk to the place it hit
then the warning was canceld, we went home as the sirens go on again and we run into the basement
The sirens, for some freaking reason stoppend, my boy and I go upstairs , open the front door and look, we looked at the flood as my boy says "oh shit" he never uses bad words, I look up and there it is, a tornado, not close but heck its a tornado!
So what does the nanny do?
She stays outside with the child she should take care of!
We stood there and starred at it!
I'm nuts, I tell you
The sirens went back on, the tv said the tornado will reach us in 3 minutes so we went back to the basement
It didn't hit
I have no idea who it hit though
So we are all good but it sure freaked me out!
My hostmom just said to me "see andrea now you survived a tornado now you're ready to go home"
Yay to a almost tornado less germany!
You might be able to laugh!
