Helene is here
I don't remember inviting her. Right now we're dealing mostly with rain. The 50 mph winds are due early to mid afternoon.
ETA: the tornado sirens just went off (20:45). I've only heard them in movies before.
We don't have a tornado room set up yet, so we're in the hallway with all the doors closed. We grabbed office chairs, a water bowl and pee pad for the dogs, and put up a baby gate at the end to keep the dogs with us. The house is brick -- which may not matter if the funnel is big enough -- and there's no glass that can get to us directly here.
