The rain poured off my roof this afternoon, and the pea-sized hail clattered on our patio. The tornado sirens wailed to life, quieted down, and then howled again. My Oklahoma children came screaming down the stairs and dashing in my general direction. <\/p>\n

I glanced up from folding laundry to see the weather maps showing the storms to be almost an hour away from us. \u201cCalm down,\u201d I told them. \u201cThere is no need to panic. This is just rain and tiny hail. When it\u2019s time to panic, I\u2019ll tell you.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
