STORMS

We have had quite the week of watching the radar and LOTS of red!! But we have been VERY lucky! Wednesday night/Thursday morning about 5:00am we were woken by falling trees, wind, and lots of RAIN! Once the big branch fell on our house and woke us up, the power went out, and tornado sirens went on. So out to the hallway we went as we had no idea what was going on since we had no power. So with blankets and pillows we hung out in the hallway until we felt it was clear to go back to bed-yeah right, who can go to sleep after something like that!

Come to find out though, we are very fortunate! There was a lot of damage done to trees, homes, fences, and cars in our neighborhood. Just a few blocks away trees were uprooted! They say that an F2 tornado came through our neighborhood. Luckily all we experienced were some pretty big limbs down, but no damage to house, cars, fence, OR the swingset! There were about 20,000 without power! We are very lucky!! We did have to have someone come fix the powerlines that tore off the house and had to pay someone to remove all the limbs. But that is minor!! Main problem was THREE days with NO POWER!!! But thanks to Grandma and Papa Nerio, they provided us with a couple of good meals and beds to sleep in with lights!!

(Not a great picture, but this limb took Chris and his dad to move it was so big!)

I would have to say I have came a long way though, as I DO NOT LIKE STORMS!! END OF STORY! When I was little I remember getting sick to my stomach and crying anytime there was bad weather. Guess when you have two kids I would have looked pretty silly with my head in my pillow crying....
