Sirens and very LOUD phone alerts woke me out of a sound sleep at about 1:30 AM. I finally got up and went to the basement at about 2 AM when thunder totally woke me up. I had just settled in when the lights went out. Luckily, I had the brains to take a lantern down there with me. 10 minutes later, the light came back on. The tornado warning (not watch) was over at 2:30 AM but I stayed down there until 2:50 or so. I was pretty surprised I fell back asleep, usually after waking up I toss and turn.
