Tornado warning!

Remember I said we had a big storm today, just found out we now have a TORNADO warning in effect for Maricopa County... i.e. right where we are! As soon as I heard I ran to my desktop iMac to post this before the power went out, but as I sat down at my desk the power blipped and my iMac went dark, so now I'm on my laptop. The airport 15 mins away from us is close to shutdown, 120 flights cancelled, 30 flights re-routed! Wind gusts are at 60mph right now, so I'm sure the roads will be covered with palm trees in the morning...
