He can sleep upstairs then.


OP here - I agree - that is what I told him, but I think if the rest of us are all downstairs - he'll come too. Luckily the kids think it is a cool adventure.

We are sleeping in our rooms tonight, and the basement tomorrow.

Just curious - do you have big trees over your house? I think people who do think differently about storms.

We'll probably do tomorrow night downstairs but not tonight.

We know it's not a tornado, but we also know that trees often fall down when it rains a lot and when there is wind. The rain softens the ground which is conducive to falling trees.

I had thought only tomorrow night, but I was just outside and the wind has picked up a lot. So...maybe tonight too.

I knew Monday is supposed to be worse, that is a definite basement night (OP here)

I was also thinking we'd "sleep" in the basement tonight. I probably won't catch even a wink of sleep down there. I only sleep well in my own, comfortable bed!

Actually Monday night is the biggest risk in this storm.

We basically have a forest in our backyard and are not risking it. We'll be in the basement!!

We have numerous tall trees surrounding our house, they appear to be healthy. If you were us, would you sleep in the basement tonight or is that not necessary?
