Storms

TORNADOES ARE NOT MY FRIEND!!! The last few weeks have been crazy! Storm after storm after storm. Over the last month I think we have had 5 or 6 tornado warnings. Several nights we lay awake listening to the storm rage outside. Usually it is just thunder and rain. The thunder shakes our entire house. Sometimes it is more! We had two storms wake us in the middle of the night that freaked us out!! We just grab our kids and rush for the bathroom and pray for protection!! It is so scary!! I do not like it!!

One of the storms hit our little town pretty hard. It doesn't seem like much compared to what is going on in the surrounding cities.(flooding and devastating tornadoes) It was eye opening for me though!! I have seen things like this several times on TV but it is something else to live it! Thankfully us and our home were protected. Throughout Murray and Hazel there were hundreds of trees down. Some were without power for most of the day. The freaky thing to me is the damage wasn't even caused by a tornado it was caused by 101mph winds. Also the storm didn't even last long. We have had so much rain that the ground is very saturated and all the trees just came down.










Crazy Crazy weather!!! This is just some of what I saw as I drove around town. I am so grateful that we have been protected from the storms! I hope the next place we live is tornado free!!! I also hope that I never see the damage from a tornado this was bad enough for me!! :/
