Closest we've ever been to a tornado

... at least when away from the house. It was boogery yesterday! I like a good storm but not when I'm out on the road in my new car. We probably have one good hail ding. Had to take shelter under and overpass for about 20 minutes. Going through Lindale on our way home from Tyler there were tornado sirens going off all around us tornado warnings on our phones telling us to take shelter immediately. It was black in the middle of the day. We didn't see any tornado activity but did see some tornado aftermath and there are lots of pictures posted online. We saw a video from the Tyler TV station of a lady that lives about a mile down the road recording what they said was a tornado forming but I didn't see it as that. I checked on the dogs from the Howie cam and it looks like they slept through the storm.

I'm wanting to get out on the interstate today and experience the car's Blue Cruise but right now there is high wind from the northwest and rain. Maybe by the time hubby gets up and ready for the day it will have moved out of the area.

A little rose hubby brought in the house after we got home. Maybe he felt gratitude that we made it home in one piece 😬

I have a question about this Rose. Several years ago we bought a Joseph's Coat rose bush. As the name suggests, the Roses were many different colors but all of the years after the first year they have been all orange. Some years we fertilize and some years we haven't. Anyone familiar with a Joseph's Coat rose bush? Have one? Are the roses different colors? Below is what it looked like when we bought it.
