“I wasn’t about to just, like, steal what I found.”

I was just, like, flopping around the house and, like, being lazy. I had the day off from work. It was a bank holiday, but my fiancé still had to work. And then after that, I went to ALDI, and I went to Target, and like, as soon as I – It was weird because, like, there was a thunderstorm warning, and walking into Target, like, I kind of looked to my right. So, like, in the parking lot of the former Sam’s Club, and I said, like, “It looks like it’s raining over there.” 

And then all of a sudden, like, I started getting wet, so I, like, ran the next few steps in because the clouds, like, came over Target, like at that moment. And, um, a bunch of us were just standing, watching out the window because there were, like, sheets of rain coming down, and it was windy, and it was, like, crazy.

Um, so eventually I was trying to shop, but it took me a long time to find what I was looking for. Like the main thing I came there for. And then I found it, and then over the intercom, the — there was an announcement that said there was a tornado warning and we could either go to the emergency shelter, or we could leave the store, but we couldn’t, like, walk around the store. And like, I wanted to check out, and I wasn’t about to just, like, steal what I found, and I didn’t want to walk out to my car in the sheets of rain either.

So, I ended up going to the emergency shelter, and there was nowhere to sit down, and it was, like, really hot because there were so many people back there. And it was just not fun. So we were back there for about a half hour, and then we finally got to go back and, like, finish our shopping trips. So, I went home and I was really glad to be back home.
