The weather was nasty last n ight!!!!! :( We lost power, internet was out for a bit, but worse was a tornado came! We are ok. My house is ok, it didn't get it, but the kids stuff in the back yard and lawn furniture and stuff are not ok. The trampoline is gone, and the swingset is a bit damaged! And I don't want to hear it was straight line winds anymore, it wasn't! I heard it outside! And nothing in our front yard was touched & and our grill and the small kids swing that were away from the other area, but in the back yard, are in the same place! As well as small push and ride toys! The freaky part is that the trampoline is in different directions! And a pole from it was stabbed into the ground a different direction that the other stuff went. We had our trampoline secured with rebarr, that went into the ground about 12 inches... So it actually tore it up! It's in many pieces and not sure if we will ever find it all, as a lot was carried away! The swing set, didn't just lay over, it was over and spun around! Most importantly we are all ok. Just shook up! Thank God for his protection of us!
As for our town, areas were greatly damaged by straight line winds! They were confirmed to be at 102 mph! The hotel that we lived in (for a month) when we first moved to town and was looking for us a home, one area, lots the front wall and the roof! They did have some injuries! Lost of places had all kinds of damage! But what shook me up the most, was when we ran to town today, there was a mobile home park hit, and this one mobile home, didn't just go on it's side! It's upside down! Totally picked up and then threw down, but upside down! The bottom and wheels were up top and the rest crushed! This is just really really heart breaking! Terrible sadness!
But I have to say again, I am so so thankful that, Jesus kept us safe and protected us. As well as the town, it really could have been a lot worse!
I know the storms stretched far across the nation and lots have been having bad weather, I pray everyone is safe and ok!
Hugs and Blessings,

Glad you all are safe. Material things can be replaced but lives can not.
Our only weather issues right now are drought! Boy do we need rain desperately!!! But it could be a lot worse. We are in full force of hurricane season; although we don't pray for a hurricane a tropical depression wouldn't be bad...something...just as long as we get some badly needed rain.
:( you poor guys!!! how did the girls do??? hope all is well... man. what an experience... keep your head up!
love in christ, manda
