Is this a sign telling me not to leave my house??

Tonight Justin took me out for dinner to celebrate our 5 year anniversary and on the way out to the Prairie Club I thought we were going to die. The Prairie Club is 17 miles south of Valentine and when we left Valentine it was 80 something degrees and sunny. But about 7 or so miles down the road there was a nasty storm, that we didn't know about so it looked like it came out of no where. Anyways Justin was driving and I was in the passenger seat putting on my make-up when Justin said, "did you see that?". "See what?", I asked and he told me not to worry about it because it would upset me, so I spent the next minute or two guessing at animals that I wouldn't like to see on the side of the road. But then I saw it, lightning and dark clouds. Then the next thing I knew the wind picked up, dust and tumble weeds started flying past us and I started to scream. In a panic Justin tried to turn the radio to the local station, while flipping a U-y and driving 80 plus miles an hour. I was completely worthless, probably making Justin even more nervous, I couldn't stop shaking and picturing a tornado coming down and picking up our car and throwing us across the prairie. Some how through the hysterical screams I yelled out "Dodsons!", which of course means lets head towards the Dodson's house in case we have to take shelter. When we got to their turn off the radio had announced that it was not a tornado, but merely a thunderstorm warning. Oh yeah with strong winds. So we turned around and headed back to the Prairie Club and as I was questioning if this was a sign from God telling us not to go to dinner we looked to the east and saw a rainbow. After all of that dinner was perfect, we had a great time and as we were driving home another crazy thing happened. You know that girl who was breaking out windows in Valentine just to go to jail, well she was across the street from our house...breaking windows. We were 2 or 3 blocks away when we saw a police car do a U turn, and I told Justin that was right by our house. He didn't believe though and then not 30 seconds later the second cop showed up. Now we are 1 block away and Justin realizes it is right by our house so we are looking around trying to figure where or what the problem is. Then the third cop shows up and we see the girl standing by a car with a bat in her hand. Justin kept his distance so the police could handle it, he so smart when it comes to that stuff ( I wonder why). It wasn't after the fourth cop showed up and he saw them take the girl down that he pulled in to our parking spot and let me out of the car. I wasn't as scared with the cop thing as I was the tornado at first, but then I got to thinking about it and what if there was an accomplice hiding who jumped into our car or what if she had a gun or all of these other crazy things. I'm just thankful I have Justin and he knows what to do and to protect me.
