This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Rhodes chapter.
1) Omg I hear sirens. Why are there sirens?
2) Is there an air raid in Memphis?
3) *pictures scenes of WW2 air raids from history class*
4) Do we have a basement?
5) Will I need to go in that basement?
6) I don’t want to go into that basement. Demons are in there.
7) I should text the house group chat.
8) Okay thank god everyone agrees there are demons in the basement so we don’t have to go down there.
9) Time to text Mom and Dad to see if there are other options besides going into the basement.
10) Ok so Mom and Dad say we should sit in the first floor bathroom. Gucci. No demons.
11) I should yell at my housemates and tell them to meet me in the bathroom.
12) Wow this is so weird. Everyone is in the bathroom at once.
13) This is kind of what we do every weekend at parties…except that no one is in grave danger at parties.
14) …or are we in grave danger at parties but we have no idea we are in grave danger? Omg.
15) I should’ve treasured the last time we were all together and not in fear for our lives.
16) I should definitely snapchat this.
17) Oh it’s a perfect time to face swap now that we are all here.
18) Lol she’s sitting on the toilet. It looks like she’s going to the bathroom. I should snapchat this.
19) I should take a video of all of us too. This is hilarious.
20) Everyone will appreciate these original snapchats.
21) Shoot the lights just went out.
22) Find flashlights. Must find flashlights.
23) This is not a drill. This shit is actually getting real.
24) *pictures scene from Wizard of Oz where Dorothy gets swept away by a tornado*
25) *runs to bedroom and grabs close toed shoes, flashlights, and phone charger*
26) Ok if I have to run for it, I am so ready.
27) Come at me tornado.
28) *returns to bathroom with housemates*
29) Thank goodness my parents bought me twenty industrial flashlights. Now we can finally use them.
30) Should we just turn the lights off anyway so that we can at least make use of these flashlights?
31) I think it would be fun if we sat in the dark with flashlights.
32) But also that would be creepy.
33) Ok so the lights stay on.
34) I wonder if people deliver pizza during tornados.
35) What do the people who ordered pizza before the tornado warning do? Do they still get their pizza?
36) What if the pizza man arrives to your house as the tornado warning goes off?
37) Do you invite the pizza man in and let him sit with you in the bathroom?
38) Thank goodness I didn’t order pizza before this. That would’ve been so awkward.
39) Wow it’s really quiet. This shit is pretty real.
40) Maybe I should get in the bath tub.
41) No, we can’t fit 6 people in the bathtub, that’s silly.
42) What if someone has to pee?
43) Omg. I would have to pee in front of my friend’s boyfriend. That’s so awkward.
44) What if the lights go out AND I have to pee?!
45) Oh yeah we have flashlights.
46) Would that mean that one of my housemates would have to hold the flashlight for me while I pee?
47) That’s ok, right? She would totally do that for me. We are chill like that.
48) I sort of hope that happens because that would be a great story to tell everyone.
49) I should call my dad. Dads know everything. They literally can never be wrong.
50) Obviously I can’t ask him about the pee situation- but maybe he can tell me what to do.
51) Ugh why is my dad not answering?
52) Will we have to board up the windows or something?
53) Where do we even get the wood to do that at this hour?
54) Ok my dad is calling me back. Praise Jesus.
55) Um, why is my dad being so calm about this? IT’S A TORNADO FOR CRYING OUT LOUD.
56) Maybe we can be calm.
57) Omg our phones are making alert sounds. This is the end.
58) My last moments are going to be staring at the people I see every single day.
59) I guess that’s not too bad.
60) I sort of thought that I would die staring into the eyes of my husband, Zac Efron, but I mean this will do.
61) Oh great now there’s a severe thunderstorm.
62) Does this mean it’s over?
63) Ok Dad texted me and said the tornado is over.
64) Wow I can’t believe I was so close to death tonight.
65) *snapchats about being so close to death and crawls in bed and forgets about the tornado*
