3. Thanks for reminding me that those storms are headed our way

I have fallen into the behavior mode of over reacting to unexpected loud noises, too. They are all starting to sound like explosions or gunfire, to me.

11. LOL...happened twice this morning...

they were just local news alerts. I should turn off my alerts, but I want a few minutes warning so I can go grab a beer and stare into the blast.
