Bubble Clouds

This past Friday was an interesting day, weather-wise. We were under a tornado watch for a good part of the day and then right around dinner time the sirens started going off and we were under a tornado warning. So we threw put everyone into the car and drove over to the public shelter at the fire station. We stayed there for about 30-45 minutes and then left. Nothing really came of the storm, but now we know where to go and whatnot. It was predicted that we would have more storms through the night and since the sirens weren't very loud we were afraid we wouldn't be able to hear them while we are sleeping, so we headed over to Walmart (quickly becoming our daily go-to place) and picked up a weather radio along with a backpack and snacks and whatnot to put inside for our "Tornado Warning" bag. It's got diapers, wipes, snacks, a few toys and stuff to do for the boys, water, bottles and basically stuff that we would need to keep the boys entertained and taken care of while we are in the shelter. I wanted just 1 bag to have to take instead of 2 or 3 bags, plus the boys if I were to have to go by myself during the day or something.

Anyways, when we were leaving Walmart we saw all these people standing by the door looking at the sky and we were like what is going on? We thought maybe they were watching a tornado or something. But no, we got outside and saw what everyone was looking at.How cool are these clouds?! I've never seen anything like it before, they were simply amazing! And with the sun going down it looked even more cool.
