Well, the storms have been downgraded and are now afternoon, if that helps?

Wow. I think you should play "Night on Bald Mountain" and stockpile candles and bottled water.

I second this. There's at least one room in the apartment that doesn't have any windows, right? Right?

That's what I figured, and that's good enough. Though jeez, I would not live in a tall building like yours in tornado country.

Mind you, I'm certifiably paranoid about tornados, and have been since I was 7, so DO NOT listen to me. Still, the idea of not being able to get to a basement promptly wigs me the hell out.

Eh, when it got really windy downtown in late August, I was in the office. The building swayed a little and made some fascinating noises, but it's more or less supposed to do that. No harm done. I don't remember if there was technically a tornado that day, but still. :)
