The Great Toradoes of 2011

I am so far behind in my blogging this is extremely old news...however, I need a record of it so bear with me. During the last week of April we had some of deadliest outbreaks of tornadoes that our country has seen in many years. Our area was severely damaged, fortunately though we didn't have any damage. David's parent's house had a few trees down but nothing major but their neighbors just down the street from them did not come off so lucky. We went out to there house to do a little clean-up work and then went to see David's old boss' house. The directions he gave us was to look for the house with the Lexus holding the garage up. Sure enough...there it was, the Lexus holding up the garage. We toured the inside of their house and it was crazy. Parts of the house looked fine and others had been torn completely off. David also went one day and did some clean up work with our Disaster Relief Team at Beltline Church of Christ. We are all very fortunate that our lives, and homes were spared, but there are many friends and neighbors who were not so lucky.

Anna while we were spared major damage we had lots of minor damage. An F2 tornado hit our home & community around 5:30 that morning. I posted pictures of our damage on Facebook. We were without power 11 days and no phone/internet for 14. It was crazy!! Now I'm having anxiety issues that are totally weather related. I joked with David if he would just buy us an inground storm shelter I'd be fine...LOL! Glad to hear you guys didn't have any major damage.
