Crazy day

I dont know about everyone else but I am so tired of storms and tornadoes. We had cartoons on because of the kiddos so I took off to town to go to the bank and to get lunch. Well I knew something was up when I pulled up and the bank was closed and everyone that worked there was standing at the door looking out. So I called the banks phone # to ask if there was a problem. Mind you yes it was storming its butt off but I didn't think anything about it. The girl proceeded to tell me that there were 2 tornadoes headed toward Sheridan.

I then went next door to get the kids lunch at McDonald's and while the girl was taking my money her manager plus about 5 others all ran to the drive in window and screamed for me to look up. The way I was sitting in the truck I couldn't see anything though. It turned out to be something be thrown around in the air like a tractor or something of that nature. It then crashed into the ground in the woods behind us and blew up. Talk about crazy!!! Needless to say I was one of the only goobers out and about and we were driving about 50 MPH through town to get home.

It was scary to say the least. When I walked in the door at home I had already called Mom and she had turned on the TV and had all the kids with her. They were screaming and scared to death:(

Then we got a call from one of the Moms we sit for and they have 2.5 trees on there house. They are so large they cant get into the house yet to see how much damage there is yet though.

At the end of our road South of town there is a mobile home right in the middle of the road plus extensive damage to several business and homes (so we were told by my Uncle who had his weather radio and scanner on)

So again we were very lucky indeed. I hate that mother nature has to put people through things like this. Its horrible to think of the people that have lost loved ones and or their homes and belongings.
