['Last week we had a huge storm. A tornado blew through the neighborhood with barely enough time to take cover.', 'Was your house okay?', 'We had some damage, but we were all safe. Luckily I had already cleared a safe space in the basement with all the supplies we would need.']
Good, being safe is all you can ask for!
We had a huge storm last week. A tornado ripped through our neighborhood without much warning. Luckily we were able to get to the basement soon enough and I already had a tote packed with emergency supplies, food, and water down there.
