Good morning!
We had one rough evening last night. Tornado outbreak<a href='http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb008' target='_blank'><img src='http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/16/16_4_38.gif' border=0></a> in our area. It was quite intense for a while.
I had already put Holly to bed when they took off regular programming to show the tornadoes headed in our direction. They call them twisting winds that can become tornadoes. It's really nice now how they can show these winds and exactly the path they are taking and then they put up your subdivision's name and give the time when they'll be in your yard.
I got Holly out of her bed and we all went down to the basement and snuggled in to ride out one storm after another. The worst part went just north of our neighborhood, straight to the neighborhood we moved out of 3 years ago.

I haven't been able to contact any of my neighbors from there to see what happened, but there was a confirmed tornado there. I'm afraid to ask where. It's a big lakeside, wooded subdivision and I'm hoping it just got the wooded part.
That's a picture taken from the developement company's website.
Wild night, but we didn't think we would have any damage. I guess because we were in the basement we didn't realize how bad it really was out there. This morning my favorite tree in the whole yard
is missing a big chunk. About 25 feet long chunk. Either wind or lightning, not sure. DH went down and said there's some black on it.
I'm really sad about it. I love my trees. But, better the tree than the house. Thank you big tree for taking the hit for us.<a href='http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb008' target='_blank'><img src='http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/11/11_1_200.gif' border=0></a>
cheeringmom how did the play date go yesterday?
Barb please tell me you don't have a horrible dislike for me because of my teasing yesterday. You haven't been back, and I'm worried.
Lewski - what you talkin' 'bout? I've got no clue.<a href='http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb008' target='_blank'><img src='http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/4/4_12_2.gif' border=0></a>
Huggabaloo I don't want you to be lonely in here at night so I'm OK with the
Lewski arrangement. But that's it, only at night.
