Tornado on Sunday

We have told a few of you that a tornado ripped by our house the other day. Here is the video. The gas station they are at in the first minute is 1/2 mile from our house and when they are driving, they drive by some a shopping complex that is about 100 yards from our house. Seeing that the funnel cloud was right over our house and did not drop down, we feel like our prayers were answered.

I'm glad that nothing happened to your house or your family. Watching the video makes me VERY happy that we don't live in the Midwest any more!

Okay....I don't like seeing that! It reminded me of a few scares when we lived in St. Louis. I'm sure glad that heaven was watching out for you. Hurry up and get done Josh so you can move back west.

Do you keep your storm area/room supplied with stuff?

We sure do keep it stocked. It has 2 72 hour kits, water, blankets, pads, and a storm radio... Whenever we have to get in though, it seems we have forgot something.
