Tornado Scare

Hey all,
We had a fun tornado scare last night.
The radio was tracking the storm (no tv remember)
We got out the map of the area from the phone book.
We gathered in the kitchen, cooked dinner while waiting for the storm.
I put a few things in the hallway in the middle of the house, just in case.
The storm missed us by about 10 minutes.
It was coming straight up the freeway towards us. Right before getting to us it turned east and kept going north.
Tornados were spotted just south and just east of us.
Jeremy said he was not too worried….we do no live near a trailer park!
But he was a little jittery and did ask what I had put in the hallway.

It was 4:40 pm and I had just arrived in the rain from our WIC appointment.
There was a sound in the air… I don’t know what a siren sounds like but…. And boy, you cannot hear it in the house.
Christy came to get her umbrella so Jeremy was standing on the front porch when we arrived.
Yes, I had to drag two kids out in this storm. They did great. Even in the thunder and lightning.

Pray for those affected.
