and I got to see it live.

Sweet.

Everyone, if the sirens go off, especially if there are storms in the area, maybe a hot, muggy day.... get under cover. Get your kids under cover. Do NOT open or close windows to the exterior; it makes no difference and you have no time. Just go to a basement, interior room, or closet. These are not things with which to trifle.
