Mother's Day Tornado

On Mother's Day a tornado passed through our town. We were blessed to have it's path miss our neighborhood. The storm woke me up alittle before 6am, just as it was passing a few miles from us. thankfully, very few died or were injured. Our electricty went out for at least a few days, i'm not sure the exact amount of days because we left for our trip monday night. we were not supposed to leave till tuesday, but since we had no hot water, we decided to head out early and spend the night in a hotel (on our way to Orlando). Even though this was a small scale disaster relative to the tornados that hit the midwest, I have a new outlook on being prepared. We will definetly being getting more food storage and water storage in case of future emergencies. It ended up being a memorable mother's day; church was cancelled, dinner was cold leftovers, and we had to put glow sticks in the girls rooms so they wouldn't be pitch black.
