Thanks for thinking of us!  We had to take shelter in our basement last week because a tornado touched down a couple of miles from our home.  I'll admit - I was scared!  Here's a piccie of the front of that storm rolling in.  It was wicked!

Thanks for the well wishes. We were without power for about 8 hours on Tuesday, no phone or internet for 36 hours......Help! No TT for 2 Days !!!!! (how did I survive that?) The community that we go to church in was without power for about 3 days, I'm not sure they are back on yet. A neighboring community had a tree fall on a house and split it in half, no one was home, so no injuries. It ws really a nasty storm, lots of trees down, but even though people said they saw Funnel Cluds, the Weather Service (and other powers that be) said the damages were from Straight Line Winds, not tornadoes Just heard a news report. More than 1200 homes and businesses in the county are still without power. I heard of only a couple of deaths due to the storm, I think overall this area was very lucky.

It is really amazing that the weather can be so nice, turn to so nasty with very high winds and rain, then be so beautiful and peaceful!

I hope anyone else that got nasty weather did as well as we did here.......(I actually took a nap through part of the storm!)

Lisa,

boy you guys missed that big twisted that went thru not too long ago in Norfolk, VA!  Wow, what a mess there!  I've driven by that area going to Virgina Beach many times.  How's that are doing?  It's not big news anymore, so nothings reported on the clean upl

We've had some bad weather that's luckily just went around us and missed us entirely!

I think mother nature having bad PMS!!!   :twisted:

Wow Lisa, that is a scary picture! ugh.  We have been getting tornado warnings all week here. The sky looked all "hangy" the other day when I was going out to pick up stuff for work.. I got stuck in a hail storm, but only for about ten mins or so. Then they issued the warning... I heard one did touch down not too far from here.. but I didn't hear much else.
Safe hugs,
Melanie

OMG Lisa! bear_shocked   That's such a scary photo......way too close for comfort!  I'm so glad it didn't get any closer to your house, and especially glad you're all safe.  What a string of weather we're having lately! :(


WOW!!  I just got an email from Progressive Insurance (my car insurance), telling customers to please let them know if they've been hit with the recent flooding or tornadoes, as they will allow extra time for making payments on car insurance, with no lapse in coverage.  They dont' want people to worry about their car insurance when they have so many other things to worry about.  Isn't that something......a big insurance company that actually thinks of its customers this way! bear_thumb
