Did you know all of that was going on above you?! I would have been so frightened... the forces of Nature can be so furious!!!<br /><br />I've not been out visiting in a while. Summer has been really insane. I'm sorry I've not kept in touch better. I'm glad you're all safe and well and very sorry for the losses in your community. :( It was June 19 last year that we had a tornado rip through (north of us) and when our town had horrible flash-flooding that washed away several roads and left many stranded with water in their basements and without power for days. :(<br /><br />Be safe!!!<br /><br />Dana<br />xoDanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16224785623107789520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-209373291915349097.post-29543955599951595462010-07-09T01:01:05.671-05:002010-07-09T01:01:05.671-05:00Wow that is scary.

I feel so bad for people who have been affected by this. Tornadoes are especially bad since they move erratically and often there isn't much notice.

I'm so happy you and your family are safe. I am very sad for those that have lost loved ones and for those that have suffered the loss of homes and property.
