This afternoon has been a busy weather afternoon here in the Mid-South. The local TV station has been covering numerous thunderstorms and tornadoes throughout the area. As they identify a location of fairly certain trouble, the meteorologists have been advising people to go to their "safe area."

Unfortunately, I misunderstood them and I went to my "happy place." It's been a pleasant and worry-free afternoon, but it's a damn good thing I didn't get hit with a tornado.
