• 11:14:47: This is why I love Mental Floss - they tell me what I want to know: “@mental_floss: Where Do Baby Carrots Come From? — http://t.co/nzU6SDk”
  
• 12:03:37: After a long break - we will get to finish watching Return of the King! The battle for the White City waited for us. Yay! #LotR
  
• 12:09:14: Spears shall be shaken, shields shall be splintered! A sword day, a red day, ere the sun rises! Ride to ruin and the world's ending! #LotR
  
• 12:23:08: Legolas is awesome. Stupid elf, gotta love him. Surfing down the nose of the Mûmakil (elephant). Too cool.
  
• 12:50:01: "Certainty of death, *small* chance of success... What are we waiting for?" Got to love Gimli. Such enjoyment for a suicide mission! #LotR
  
• 13:00:15: Why is it taking so long to watch #LotR? Well, now Myr is off to her Strike/Cast Party for the play and we are on hold until she comes back.
  
• 13:18:31: Rain! Woo-hoo, it's raining. Life is good.
  
• 13:35:07: @ReneeWildes That is my very favorite type of rain. Sunshine showers are love!
  
• 13:40:43: @ReneeWildes I get that. My daughter is almost 18 and still loves to stand out in the rain and splash in puddles!
  
• 14:43:59: A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day. #LotR
  
• 14:44:44: An hour of woes and shattered shields, when the age of men comes crashing down! But it is not this day! #LotR
  
• 14:45:18: This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good Earth, I bid you *stand, Men of the West!* #LotR
  
• 15:01:04: "I'm glad to be with you, Samwise Gamgee, here at the end of all things." #LotR Saved by Eagles!

• 15:18:26: 'Go in peace! I will not say: do not weep; for not all tears are an evil.' Thanks, Gandalf. We've been crying for most of the movie! #LotR
  
• 18:22:37: It started thundering here about 5 minutes ago. It hasn't stopped. No rain. Rather unsettling. #DoNotLike #storm
  
• 18:37:28: Lights flickering. Tornado sirens blasting. Emerency sirens heading some where. Patches of blue sky amid the roilng clouds. Exiting, r ...
  
• 19:01:38: Tornados all around us. Calm right now. Heavy winds, damage to the north and south west, within a mile. Another front is moving this way...
  
• 19:11:42: So, tornado out by the airport... that's less than a mile away. Have rain now, that feels better than the heavy quiet of a bit ago.
  
• 19:23:07: Heard from Mom. They are fine, but there's a lot of damage out that way.
  
• 19:27:09: I think I saw that cloud! @lipps89: Heard from my parents...they are okay but they saw the tornado and it just missed their house!
  
• 19:31:12: FYI: My folks & brother live 5 mi. N of us. The tornado went between us, close to them. Bro saw it pass! Lots of damage around town.
  
• 21:00:01: The tornado went just south of my folks place -- the old truck stop & various houses about a half mile south of them were flattened.
  
• 21:17:05: I read this AFTER I went out and checked on my folks and brother. @WAOW: No travel advised in Lincoln County http://t.co/nDagyQc”
  
• 21:29:58: My brother has video of the tornado that went south of them. Spooky with the debris flying. I saw trees with sheetmetal wrapped around them.
  
• 21:42:49: Made the weather channel with "unconfirmed" reports of tornado damage. I'll confirm it. We have damage. There was a tornado.
  
• 21:43:36: @MadnessInMySoul Heh. You are a faster tweeter than I!
  
• 21:51:19: Our house has power, one block to the north it's dark. It's spotty like that through al of the county. My folks are running their generator.
  
• 22:08:47: Half the town is without power. Reported gas leaks. Schools closed tomorrow. The block across the street had power but is dark, now.
  
• 23:12:54: Now that I spammed the world with storm tweets, I bid you good night. Please keep Merrill in your thoughts and prayers tonight!
