12. So, where's your 'fraidy hole?
Grew up in OKC. We didn't have a basement either. Usually hid out in the walk-in closet in my mom's room.

4. yep. Is it wrong to like severe weather?
I never want anyone to get hurt of course, but I LOVE a big scary storm. I also get happy for the local weather guy's...they just get soooo excited. :D
