My greatest fear is tornados that strike in the night when I'm

don't want to sleep in the dank basement which I have so far not had
time to clean. Would appreciate some purrs to keep me & the owners
safe tonight.

Pat, from one resident of "tornado alley" (albeit the eastern fringes)
to one in the middle of things - get a weather radio! You should look
for the kind that goes off like an alarm clock if there are
weather-related warnings in your area. Put it at your bedside, turn
the volume up, and you'll most certainly wake up!

(I once had one that would play the weather stations, but didn't have
an alarm function)

We had one of those, but had to toss it as it kept going off for the
simplest of *thunderstorms*, and we couldn't figure out how to change the
settings! Talk about annoying!
