Protecting the Baby

My wife and I had a baby and I was in the basement of the house I grew up in. The basement was moist and cluttered and there was no suitable place to put the baby. I was becoming extremely irritable and anxious over this as more and more people, including some family members, fawned over the newborn. My cat was in the basement too- I noticed that he had jumped an enormous vertical length into the air and wound up at least 20 feet up into a crawlspace. Of course, this basement doesn't have such high ceilings and there is no crawlspace there. In the dream, however, I recognized the crawlspace and was worried that my cat would somehow get outside or otherwise get into something that would hurt him. I got up there, got him out and looked around. Extremely curious now but only saw a dusty badminton set. At some point, I wound up outside and saw clouds so fierce looking that they were literally blowing past ground level windows. Suddenly, I spotted a funnel cloud and it appears to be touching the ground right over the house. I warned people of this but no one took heed- instead, they pointed to the blue skies beyond the table of clouds.
