This weather is absurd

Our weather around here has been less than festive.  I simply refuse to allow the grass to be mowed at Christmas!  But yes folks, we actually could if we really wanted to do so.  We had thought that we might go see some lights.  However, at 4:30 the tornado watches (and evening warnings) began to pop up and we decided to stay home.  We were never in the direct path of any tornadic storms, but the area we wanted to visit was...and we did have some severe storms with winds and downpours as well.  Talk about insanity.  I mean good grief...tornados at Christmas??
