My iPhone blared a warning—a tornado warning! It’s been raining all morning. So, first thing I did was to turn off all the computers plugged into the wall.
I looked at the iPad. Take cover! it said. So naturally, I stepped outside to take a look. The sky was medium gray, and the cloud cover seemed to be moving at a good clip. As I watched the eastern sky, a drenching gust from the west suddenly hit me in the back, soaking my backside. Sheets of rain were falling. I decided to go back in.
The wind held the storm door pushed open, and it took me some determined pulling to get it closed.
Now I’m inside. It seems calmer out, and I’d like to go out for another look, maybe get a picture, but sudden gusts are a little daunting. Maybe I’ll just wait until the tornado warning is over.
I do wish I had a little whiskey in the place.

You’ve got strong reporter instincts, like those guys standing out in a hurricane to report on it. How about a stiff shot of whiskey for storage in your emergency/first aid kit?

My reporter’s instincts sometimes outrun my survival instincts. But my survival instincts catch up pretty fast.
And yes, every emergency kit should contain a flask of whiskey.
