Tornadoes, High Winds and Lots of Rain oh my.
« on: March 31, 2011, 07:03:43 pm »
God still answers prayers.

Today we have had tornadoes, wind and it has rained pretty much all day. I can still hear the thunder as I type. We lost power around Noon today and I have been running off generators. No water either. But my house is safe, all my children, their family's are safe. Their homes came thru with some minor damage.

I have never experianced such bad weather in my entire life and we surrvied the 2004 Hurricanes when four came thru Florida.

The only bad thing to happen is a large tree in my front yard on the property line of my neighbors came down in his front yard. Thank God it missed his house. I will post some pictures later.

The whole time it was storming I was praying and asking God to protect my family and our homes and he did. :)

Prayer is a powerful thing.  I was thinking of you today wondering if the weather was i your area or not.  So thankful to hear that all is well.

wow!

The complete family is ok and even the front yard "survived" ;D
Seems like you've been brave enough.

Show us some photos!

Glad to hear you came out OK Russ!  We had a lot of local damage in Tampa/St Pete as well.  A gas station a couple of blocks from MacDill AFB (where I work) was trashed.  A truck blown over on the Skyway bridge and another on I-75, lots of smaller incidents all around.  Luckily I didn't loose anything at my little house.

You folks must be on the extreme south end of "Tornado Alley"....

Glad you are safe and more or less sound. We here in the middle of the "Alley" know full well what you are going through.

Time to pick up, clean up and thank the 'Big Guy' for watching out for you!
