Well...  So the end of Friday, supposed to be relaxing and chill right?  Wrong...  Staffarollema and I were finishing up for the day when suddenly I got a phone call from sTuGi telling me about a weather warning siren going off.  I then found online that a severe weather warning was issued with damaging winds up to 90 MPH and golfball-sized hail.  After another phone call from Staffarollema's husband informing us of hail about six miles away, we scrambled our stuff together and decided to run to get our cars, which sat outside in a parking lot about a mile away.  As we were running through the hospital, we turned our heads and looked at the sky, the blue sky five minutes ago was being covered by an ominous morphing cloud that's moving faster than anyone could ever run.  By the time we finally got through the hospital, it already started raining.  We decided to cross the street anyway to get into another building just to be a step closer.  In the ten seconds that we were outside, the rain started pouring and wind picked up so strongly that we were afraid we'd get blown away.  By the time we got to the other building, the doors were blown shut and I had to use my body weight to pull the door open.

     We finally got inside and decided to hide in the stairwell for safety.  We then tried to make calls but all circuits were busy.  Several people showed up in the stairwell as well with everyone dumbfounded since there was never any alarm in our part of the city.  Or maybe the wind was blowing so hard the soundwaves of the siren were distorted to the point where it was inaudible to human ears.  On top of that, the hospital recently put in place this severe weather warning system that obviously was either not functional or it would only be used for earth-destroying meteor.  After the pounding sounded quieter, we ventured to other parts of the building so we could see what was going on outside.  We eventually left about 20 minutes later when it was only drizzling.  The usual 30-minute drive home turned into over an hour with parts of the city losing power resulting in demonstrations of idiotic drivers not knowing what a four-way stop is at every single non-working traffic light.  There were also lots of tree branches on the streets as well as broken poles.  Lastly, there's hail damage on my car, yay...
