Well, we came home from our little Texas adventure just in time for some stormy weather. Tornado weather to be more specific. Since Caleb is still at the Fire Academy 2 hours away, Carlie and Wrenley came and stayed with us. Makena was at a museum conference 2.5 hours away and was on her way back when the weather was getting bad here. Turns out, Carlie and Wrenley would have been more safe at their house because a tornado came through about a mile up the road. Carl and Trey watched it from our porch!
Both of these pictures were screenshots from videos. In the actual video you can see it spinning, and later you can see debris flying. There was significant damage just a few miles (5 or less). While Carl and Trey were videoing and watching the storm pass through, Wrenley and I were in the bathroom with a baby bed mattress on our heads, lol!
I'm looking really rough. We had just gotten out of the tub!
This was just before the electricity went off. We were without power for about 8-10 hours. Thankfully, we have a generator. Unfortunately, it bit the dust that night. It was so hot. Wrenley and I "slept" in my room, Carlie took Trey's old room, Makena was in her bed, and poor Carl ended up on the couch. I think Makena was the only one who slept. We were so hot, and little did we know, Wrenley was getting sick with the flu. She stayed with me and Carl the next day until Carlie could take her to the doctor.
Yes, BeBe gave her the paci because she was so pitiful.
Thankfully, we were all safe and even though a few more storms came through over the next couple of days, none were severe for us. We got around 6 inches of rain, which led to flooded roads.
Much Love,
Beth
