Tornado's

I forgot to mention the weather we had last Sunday. We were expecting some storms, and were really looking forward to it, as we desperately need rain (over 18” below where we should be in rainfall…draught). As the night progressed, the storms became very violent though.

We wound up with F3 tornado’s cutting a swath across one county in Oklahoma and another in Arkansas. They hit almost 150 homes, of which, I think 43 were total losses. About an hour later, there was another tornado showing up on radar where we live. I had everyone hunkered down in the hallway, and I’ll tell you that they were never a group of people who wanted the storm shelter done, more than we. Not sure if I mentioned or not on this blog, but we are digging our own shelter. We started it a couple of weeks ago in hopes that we could have it done by “storm” season, which is usually May…lol…wouldn’t you know it…the tornado season kicked off early this year! You can see our progress here.
