Survived the tornado!

moonvine · Mar 20, 2025

An ef2 tornado touched down in my tiny hamlet of Villa Ridge about a mile and a half from me. It was some scary stuff. It was on the national news along with a bunch of other tornadoes. We lost power for a little while (I went to sleep and it was off and woke up and it was on again. Thank you workers). We were without internet for about a day and a half. I really need to make an emergency plan for the kitties. We have more than enough carriers, but I’m not sure about getting them all in them and down the stairs.

Do you have emergency plans for your critters?

I live an exciting life. The tornado destroyed a gas station; it’s the one we usually go to, as well as flipped over several tractor trailers. We had just been there several hours before.

Thanks God you and your kitties are ok, sounds like what lived last year , stronger winds about 70-100 km/h (isn't normal here) and no energy neither internet, cellphone signal was on/off net and some roof damaged , some trees was uprooted and fallen on roof, parked cars and teared down concrete light post. A true nightmare.
