I was taking a late lunch at the gym Friday afternoon and had no idea about any tornados coming our way. Although, I do think my sixth sense was trying to tell me something. I was sitting in the sauna around 1:50 when, for no reason, I thought to myself, “If a tornado hit, this would probably be the safest place in the building. The walls are reinforced and very well sealed to keep the heat in.” Then I closed my eyes and went back to relaxing and listening to “Baba O’Riley“ by The Who. It’s my sauna jam.
I got to the radio station a little after 2 and had just sat down when our sales manager poked her head in and asked if I was going to bug out. Still clueless, I asked why I would do that. Then she explained about tornados south of town and super bad stuff heading our way.
This and the cover photo are shots from inside the train that got hit by a tornado outside of Lincoln May 26th.
I did not bug out. I figured it’s just as safe in the work basement as at home……… even though there isn’t a sauna here.
