I'm fine. We were very blessed in that it missed us. We got one strong storm with wind, rain and hail, but it was very short lived with no tornadoes.

The news is reporting 16 tornadoes touched down in the state yesterday.
This all started about 4:00pm yesterday. Atkins got hit really bad. Clinton also.

The news was saying the last time we had storms this deadly was in 1999.
We have had storms with more tornadoes, but they didn't cause the destruction and deaths like these did.

It was crazy in this house last night.
The tornadoes had me on edge. THen the reports started coming in. It was non stop coverage from 4pm to 11pm of weather.

I was so nervous and upset. Then the phone rings and it's my nephew asking me if I am ready to be a Great Aunt.
OMG, I was so excited and happy. The doctors told them they would never get pregnant. She's 7 weeks along.

Then the death tolls started coming in and pictures of the destruction. So I was back down.

My electric had gone out while talking to my nephew, so I lost the phone connection. DH called him back. Then I was all excited again.

DH called to check on his parents. While on the phone with them, they tell him that his Aunt called and her husband had left her again. This is the most sweetest woman in the world. She is completely devestated.

So then I was back down again and worried about the Aunt.

By the time I went to bed, I had a horrible sick feeling in the pit of my stomach. Unable to sleep because of WAY too much going on.

Got up this morning to see all the destruction in the other states. It is so sad.

Kay, I'm glad your daughter was ok. I was glad my family was all home last night. I'm with you. I hate storms. I am scared to death of them.
I want a storm shelter soooooo bad.
