welcome to nebraska!

today has proven to be a very typical yet interesting nebraska day!
all day it has been extremely windy, which brought in a huge storm at around 4 p.m..... I was sitting in the living room and my dad walked in and informed me I should probably turn it onto channel 10 (aka local weather) and I did... only to find out that we were in a tornado warning... and at about the same time hail started to fall like snow in a blizzard! the wind was blowing as hard as ever, and the hail was beating against the house in such a way I never thought was physically possible without the house leaving the ground... i eventually went downstairs after about 30 minutes of pouring rain and hail and wind only to see my favorite wooden rocking swing chair thing knocked down and broken by the wind :-( very sad day in the neighborhood...

anyhoo, now it is peaceful in the good ol' town of hickman nebraska... oh but before i forget... I told my father on our way to texas roadhouse that we proved to be true nebraskans... even a tornado and hail couldn't keep us from our steak :-)

tomorrow is chicago... woot woot!
