What a week

Ok so so far February has not been great nor warm and i hear March is the start of tornado season well yippy ky yah bleep bleep bleep...The tornado was just about 6 miles due east of us close enough by the way. We have gone by to see the destruction I didn't take pictures just didn't feel right. But it is so surprising to see what it can do. I lived in Corpus thankfully no hurricane I did evacuate 1 time with Eric but that was it. We were there when we thought Rita would hit but she turned so we had a "No Rita" party. In Tyler we just got wind not too bad there. But here i have to say is a little more scarier for me. I had told the kids that morning they would probably go to the safe room at school but don't worry its really safe and i said mommy will be in the closet protected their dogs. So at 245 the weather radio went off and i headed for the closet w/dogs in tow. I had prepared it earlier that day. I talked to jay but then we lost all phone use and tv so just sit and wait. I was a long 2 hours especially waiting to get the kids i knew they were tired and hungry. Once we were able to pick them up we were relieved. We will be looking at getting a storm shelter but they are backed up now. Our friends behind us are getting one in 2 weeks and said we can go to theres so I am sure I will be taking them up on that one. The weather is cold again but hopefully we will see the sun by MARCH..Here are a few picks of the hail at the house
