A Wild Night!



Well, last night was pretty scary and wild. Most of the evening we listened to sirens warning us of tornadoes heading our way. It started even before people made it home from work. Memphis city schools closed at 12:30 tho so most all the kids were home. Shea had to work at the Tan n Go across town from us so she was there by herself and had to lock up and stay in the bathroom. We just sat and watched the news (as the satellite went out periodically) tell us where the tornadoes were spotted and where they were heading. Debri from who knows where was landing in our yard. The Hickory Ridge Mall was damaged and several other places. I am just thankful we are safe and it could have been much worse had we not been warned all day. The death toll from these storms in the surrounding areas is over 40 now. These are a couple pics taken very near our home. SCARY times but all is well....

Hi Cheri

I am so glad everyone was alright after the tornados. The damage shown on tv was so incredible. It's so hard for anyone not living in that type of area to understand how much damage can happen so quickly - of course I grew up in earthquake country!
