We were supposed to get thunderstorms this evening, then it was changed to tomorrow. About an hour ago the sky got Very Interesting and I moved the truck behind the garage (car’s already in the garage). Tornado siren’s gone off once, most likely due to the tornado in Lewisville, and I’m keeping an eye on radar for round two which should hit us in a half hour or so.

Could be so much worse—looks like Richardson and south Dallas got hammered. Late spring in Texas, whee!

In the meantime I decided I also wanted to relax a bit, so I watched the theatrical release version of EARTHQUAKE on Netflix. Up until now the only version I’d ever seen was the one edited for TV. The animated blood zooming out at the screen when an elevator plummets to the bottom of its shaft was particularly hilarious. Equally hilarious was the idea that Lorne Greene (born in 1915) could play the father of Ava Gardner (born in 1922). I understand the need for suspension of disbelief, but that stretched it to the snapping point. Also, if someone could explain why Geneviève Bujold was hired as the young widowed love interest I would really appreciate it.
