Freshman Patti and the Twister

Patti Sponaugle is a Torrance High grad who is attending Kenyon College in Gambier, Ohio. Here's a snippet of this week's column:

I rushed out into the hall, only to find it completely empty, and immediately (and absurdly) concluded the worst-case scenario: I was the only surviving victim of the Drone of Terror!

But a few seconds into my bout of paranoia, out strolled one of my hall mates from his room, cool and leisurely like, looking about as perturbed as a ball of yarn.

Hadn’t he heard that awful noise? I asked, to which he nonchalantly replied that it was “only a tornado warning,” and that we “probably” weren’t in danger.

Probably.

Needless to say, I spent the remainder of that day suspiciously glancing toward the sky, wary should a huge vortex swoop down and swallow me away.

And here's the link to the rest of it.
