Some Excitement 

Went to my parents house this past weekend and 

found ourselves across the street from a four engine 

fire.  Well not really, four fire trucks did show up but

luckily none had to put out a fire.  We were spending

the afternoon at my moms when all of a sudden we had

a down pour of rain followed by to loud thunder that 

made my mom let out a yell.  A few minutes later we

hear sirens and before we knew it the whole street was

full of first responders, police and fire trucks.  

After my saw Veronica and me taking pictures,

she said, "Haven't you guys ever seen a fire truck?"

While all of this was going on the city sirens went

off and through the loud speaker we heard, "This

is a tornado warning please take cover immediately."

Apparently this warning didn't seem to phase 

anyone because it appeared that more people

came out to see all the excitement.  I guess we all 

felt secure with all the fire trucks on the street.

There ended up not being a fire, just a lightning

strike with some smoke.  One of the neighbors happened 

to see it and called the firefighters.  One of the occupants

must have been in the shower because she came out with a towel.

Stephen slept through the whole thing.  this was

him after he woke up.  We ended up staying late

at grandmas house because the water would not stop.
