How the heck do you go to bed knowing you have a tornado watch hanging over your head til 3 A.M.? I seriously doubt I will be getting any sleep! After being in S.C. when Hugo hit I don't trust any kind of major storms!

I'm just going to open the window so that I can hear the train... Figure the odds Mouse. I'm scared to but sleep is critical!

Can I use "tornado watch" as a valid excuse to be late for work?
