School started... followed by a Tornado!!

School started for Steve on the 20th of August. It's keeping him really busy, but he is enjoying it. I'm still trying to get settled around the house, which is pretty much done, except for the baby's room. It has kind of become our "catch all" room. As much as I try to get in there and clean it out, I'm running out of places to store things and still have enough room for a baby to live in there. It's coming together slowly, but surely.
Steve on the first day of school
A few days after school started, the remnants of Hurricane Fay came up this way. We experienced a lot of rain, strong wind, and a TORNADO. Steve had been up on campus earlier in the day studying, but luckily I had picked him up a few hours earlier. He was planning on going back up, but after watching the news all afternoon and seeing that we were had a tornado warning, he decided to stay home, and I'm glad he did. It finally got to the point where the weatherman told everyone in our area to take cover. I camped out in our bathroom and Steve was in the hallway right outside. Nothing actually came right our way, but there was one that touched down on one of the fields up on campus. Luckily no one was injured, and not too much damage was done. I was glad we were both safe in our apartment and I didn't have to worry about Steve being up on campus. I haven't had to take cover for a storm like this since I was little when we had to go into our basement, but I think we are in for some crazy storms out here.
