Twice in one day...wow!

Y'all missed it! (Just wanted to give you the most Arkansan feel for that opening statement and for what you're going to read next).

At 2pm, I was in a meeting with a student when the President (not George W.) walked into my office and said, "There's a tornado sighting, we need to go downstairs."

Umm...OK...let's see...cell phone...good...OK...down we go. (That's what was running through my mind).

I grab my cell phone (which later will prove to be no good to me either because of where we were or because of the storm) but forget to save what I had been working on. Yeah, good one. Don't save that excel file you were working on when there's a tornado coming...guess it wouldn't really have helped to save it if a tornado hit anyway.

So, we go downstairs and wait in the hallway. And wait. And wait.

A tornado did not touch down, although the security officer said that one had been spotted on State Line Rd. Yeah, umm...campus is right on the state line...=o) All we got was REALLY strong winds, somebody said 3 inches of rain - and it's still raining - and a break from the office.

A girl next to me said "Wow, it's my first day of college and now this..." Bless her heart, if this is any sign of what's to come, she's going to have an exciting 4 years.

Y'all shoulda been here. =o)

Oh, and my excel file was just fine.
