Stuck in Target

I got stuck in Target last night till about 10 o'clock! The cashier was ringing up my groceries, when I hear the announcement "the national weather service has issued a tornado warning...please step away from the windows and head toward the center of the store." I leave my groceries where they are (half bagged, and half still on the checkout belt) and head towards the middle of the store.

Just as I got to the women's clothing...the electricity went out! I heard the most synchronized drawn breath from a group of 100 people ever. It was bat-cave dark for about 15 seconds, and then the generators kicked on.

I ended up sitting there for about an hour...screaming babies and everything. It was kind of a nightmare, but all I could really think about was my icecream that was melting on the checkout belt.

Finally, I got to leave. The worst part was that I missed an apparently awesome storm. I don't think there was actually a tornado, but I heard it was down right exciting to watch.

Too bad I was stuck in Target!
