It was breezy up on the pickleball court this afternoon, and hot, too-- we called it after a couple of games in 86-degree heat. Even so, we weren't prepared for it when Heidi's phone began to blow up; all of her water aerobics folks were abuzz about the tornado watch that had been issued for our area.
"Tell them you'll be at the pool if it's open," I advised.
"But they are sending me news articles and weather sites," she said with indecision. "And the Federal Government is closing at 3. Should we just call it right now?"
"You don't have to do anything; they'll close the pool if it's too dangerous."
"But they are predicted derecho force winds!" Just then, her phone dinged again. "The pool is closing at 5!" she reported.
"Well, that answers that," I shrugged and crossed my fingers that everyone was overreacting.
