When moving from Houston, I was very glad to be leaving behind hurricane season and all of it's destructive paths. Now we are in safe McKinney, where hurricanes will no longer threaten to destroy our home and expose my lack of emergency preparedness. Wrong. Tornadoes now threaten to expose my lack of emergency preparedness (which I'm now avidly working on.) This last two weeks we have hidden our family in our tornado safe bunker (I mean master closet) to be safe from looming weather. This last week we were woke up at 4am to the tornado sirens, wind, and rain. Makayla is so scared of storms she shakes violently and totally freaks. I feel so bad for my sweet girl.
Not much really happened. Part of our roof ripped off. Our insurance guy is coming out to look at it today. We're hoping he thinks we need a new roof:) Our stake president's yard has 10 of his 15 beautiful trees destoryed. So the strom did leave many with messes to clean up.

I can't imagine going through a hurricane or a tornado. Sounds scary. Mikes secret dream is to chase tornados so I am sure he would love to trade places with you.
Oh my word I'm so sorry! Good luck with the roof and all and we'll pray for Makayla to feel a little better with things.
Oh wow! I am sorry to hear that but glad to hear that nothing too serious happened. It's funny how little warnings like that really get us in gear to be prepared. Good luck with that! There are some great resources online and also in that old FHE manual in the back.
Go figure! We only live a few miles from each other and our sirens did not go off! SCARY! I don't enjoy our weather here at all, but I guess it beats the 112 degree weather of AZ! I hope everything goes well with the roof!
I'm glad your family is safe. It is a scary thing to go through. Does MaKayla have to do fire, tornado, & lock down drill at school? The lock down scares Kali the most. She can't sleep for a month after the drills.
I'm glad y'all are safe. I will keep Makayla in my prayers.
