devastation

(there used to be three houses on this piece of land)

The devastation here in the South is unbelievable.  

I think I have been in shock most of the day.  

I have been filled with sadness and worry for all those greatly affected by these crazy storms.

These photos were taken by my friend Jenn.  They were right in the center of the storm and were very blessed to come out okay.  She, along with her hubby Travis and baby Gavin, are staying at our house tonight because they have no power.

They are one of the 95,000ish without power.

Jason and I feel so blessed to have come through this without any damage.

Please keep those less fortunate in your prayers.

all i need is ruby red slippers and a dog named toto

We have been having some crazy storms in my neck of the woods.

Yes. Those are golf ball sized hail.

The storms have been going on pretty much the entire day with a few breaks in between.

The lightning is so intense followed by thunder that shakes cars and buildings.

The rain has been pounding the ground and at times going completely sideways due to the roaring wind.

We have had several tornado watches/warnings and a good number of tornado touchdowns.

We got let out of work early due to the severity.  On my way home, I saw countless trees down and branches all over the place.

I am happy to report that we are okay and there has been no damage to our house.

What a day!
