今天预报说要有极端天气。待到傍晚时看到飞速前进的黑压压的云在滚动。再晚些，又在房间内听到外面的呼呼的风声。有点家乡塞外特别是早春或冬天的刺骨的风的感觉--但只是声音像。温度远不及家乡那般冷。
不过，预报说是晚8点要下雨，可到晚上9：40推开门看，还未见雨来。
这边的极端天气极少见。前不久有一次， 是瞬间大雨如注。当时能听到城市的警报声。
再平时的话，就温和的多。从冬天，一直到进入春季spring。现在虽说仍是这边的春季中，但绿的程度、有时热的程度已经可以和北方家乡的夏天比了。但家乡仍然和冬天一样的光秃秃，还很难感受到春。

早上6点多被一声巨响惊醒了! 我的直觉是卧室窗户对面的大树枝被大风吹掉并砸到了二楼的房顶! 听着楼上没什么动静，也就继续睡了。
then I received a message from my neigbor around noon. she told me that Last night, the ceiling was leaking and she have to wash her bed...it was terrible.

I found some information when browsing Facebook this noon.

1.未关注的预报。the broadcast 23 hours before, that is yesterday afternoon, and my friend told me she would run outside. that means everything is OK at that time.

Hey, y’all, let’s talk about the weather.
This is an outlook of how bad things are going to get—Alabama is very prone to tornadoes right now, and April is the worst month for tornadoes in our state.
The worst of the storms will be coming through tonight. You should:

• have your phone charged
• keep your ringer ON and LOUD to hear weather updates and possibly get woken up by them
• keep a few good weather apps: WTVY and WSFA have great weather apps.
• have a safe space READY. Choose a central room in your home with no windows. Maybe bring some food, some medicine, your laptop, just whatever you need if things go from bad to worse.
• maybe wait to sleep until the worst of the storms have passed

Most importantly, you should be PAYING ATTENTION to the weather. If you know what’s happening, you’re in a better spot than most.

这预示着事情将变得多么糟糕—阿拉巴马州现在非常容易遭受龙卷风袭击，4月是本州龙卷风袭击最糟糕的月份。

今晚最严重的暴风雨将过去。 你应该：

给手机充电
保持铃声响亮，听到天气更新，可能被他们吵醒
保留一些良好的天气应用程序：WTVY和WSFA拥有出色的天气应用程序。
准备一个安全的空间。 在家里选择没有窗户的中央房间。 如果情况变得越来越糟，也许要带些食物，药品，笔记本电脑，以及您所需要的一切。
也许等到暴风雨过去之后再入睡
最重要的是，您应该注意天气。 如果您知道发生了什么事，那么您会比大多数人处于更好的位置。

• Always a good idea to have an emergency bucket around.
  I think the emergency bucket should be like this.

• Look like God decided we weren’t taking a stay at home order serious.
  看起来上帝决定我们不是要认真待在家里。
  "stay at home order" is just like this :

  
  
  stay at home order

statewide order to "stay at home"

2.然而，今天的中午已是阳光一片。除了昨天刮来的树枝。
