When the bad weather comes…

May 4, 2008

People always ask us…. when there is a really bad storm, can you feel the building move? What do you do when there is a bad storm? Admitedly, you have a little different perspective toward storms when 1.) you live on the 18th floor (or 28th!) and 2.) your building has been hit by a tornado before!

When we have ‘heavy weather’ issues (one of those that really makes David Finfrock cough!) we have an announcement which tells us to evacuate to the levels below the street. One night last spring, my husband was in the shower when the alert came to evaculate to the sub-basement level. We and our out-of-town guests were preparing to go out to dinner (as always — duh!) so hubby put on his robe, we grabbed the cat and all headed underground, just in case. Before they released us to go back to our condos, my cat and the dog next door were nose-to-nose, people from another floor sipped their wine (which they had the forethought to bring with them) and hubby took a lot of flack for being in his robe, still wet behind the ears from the shower. Soon, the storm over, we all went to dinner. Visit my website!
