Here I am, still living three-quarters of a mile west from the paved road. The air is heavy & we're supposed to get severe thunderstorms later in the day.
June seems to be tornado month in South Dakota. If we had a finished basement, it wouldn't be so bad. However, ours is a pit underneath our kitchen (junk) closet, only reached by heaving open the trap door. Things have to be pretty ugly outside before we descend.
I'll never forget taking my three kids down there when they were 3 months, 23 months, and 4 years old. Somehow, I managed to nurse the baby, calm the 4-year-old, and keep the 23-month-old from eating mouse droppings - all at the same time!
There's nothing like chaos to keep your mind off bad weather....
