Sorry, I don’t feel up to talking about video games today.
Last night we had an apparent tornado in my neck of the woods. For those who need to know such things, I’m OK. My county and the neighboring county are now in a state of emergency, and the hospital I work for has been under a ‘mass casualty’ alert since early this morning.
It’s odd. I heard the thunder, the rain, and the distinctive sound of a ‘jet engine’ roaring above my house in the night, but didn’t think anything of it. It wasn’t until my alarm went off this morning that I even knew we had something serious happen. Even on the way in to work this morning, I only saw one downed tree limb, and it wasn’t anything bigger than what I could concievably have ripped off of a tree with my bare hands. Video from local sources is showing me that the damage is not terribly far removed from my house. That’s scary, especially since I largely slept through it.

It looks like news of the storm has been picked up on CNN as well.
