Auntie Em, Auntie Em!

We've had tornado watches or warnings for the last three days now. Its been sunny, rainy, stormy, windy and calm. Typical WI weather. As I am writing this it is pitch black outside and the thunder is rolling.
Last summer Trent was very concerned about the possibility of a tornado. Anytime he would hear it mentioned it sent him into disaster mode. Two days ago he was playing at the park, sunny skies, not a care in the world, the wind picked up slightly and then the sirens went off, he comes running into the house, "there's going to be a tornado!" Grabs his piggy bank and heads for the basement.
When I was little I remember going to the basement one time. I brought my hamster. Even though we had lots of warnings, I only felt the need to go down once, because my Dad would always reassure us. "I built this house with my own hands. Its not going anywhere." I believed him.
