Am I good or what? :-P (woo woo)

ANOTHER "severe thunderstorm alert" was activated late this afternoon. We knew only because Samurai called us from her job to say that HQ had told her to close down the carwash because hurricane-force winds were headed our way (just like on Friday the 18th). I went out and warned Spouse, who was still cutting up the downed trees from the 18th with his chainsaw (I think he's now on his third or fourth chain).

So yes, the storm rolls in, amazing winds whipping the trees in the back yard around. Heavy rain, too.

Then all calms down... and the phone rings. I go for it, thinking it is Samurai again, but see from caller ID that it is my MIL.

She asks if my Spouse is there.

As I walk the phone over to him (for he was finally sitting down to eat lunch at 4 p.m.), I say, "I wonder if a tree has come down in her yard and she needs you to cut it up?"

Pretty darn close. A tree had come down in her yard, and she was calling to ask if my SIL S could come over to Spouse's office tomorrow and pick up the chain saw to cut it up.

Spouse said, "No way! I'm coming down now." (SIL S has, I imagine, never used a chain saw. And this one is heavy.)

So I got it 75% right, I'd say!

(And yes, Samurai is safely home. Although there were trees down across some roads on her commute.)
