Tornado Touch Down


A tornado touch down within 20 blocks of our home!

Thank heavens we had our bedroom window opened, because around 2 am we heard the most horrible sound of wind roaring. We quickly shut the window and turned on the weather to see what was going on. We were in middle of a storm. The weatherman said it was "hurricane" speed winds of 70 to 80 mphs. We heard limbs breaking and hail on the house. By 3 am things had calmed down; however from our windows we could tell we had tree limb damage in the back.

We have been planning to have a couple of dead trees removed from our backyard. The winds topped those trees for us. We have some work to be done, but we feel blessed because the limbs landed on the ground and not in our house.

For those that were less fortunate, please know our prayers are with you.

God has a way of pruning every once in a while, whether we like it or not. Thank goodness we were all safe!

Love you,
