Close Call Tornado
« on: April 28, 2011, 09:25:11 am »
 I'm sure y'all have seen the tornado outbreak. Well last night, our church and community got hit :'( We have 5 people that are reported dead :'( We headed to a friend that has a brick house. As we got their and got out of the truck, the tornado crossed the road right behind us. Literally. I'm talking, maybe 100 yrds. After things calmed down, we left to go home to see if we had any damage. Nonthing but alot of limbs. The tornado went about a mile south and hit a store and our church ( we live in the country) then went on to the next community. If y'all don't mind please lift up a prayer for the folks effected

Hatch, funny , but that was my first thought when I saw it this morning..." I'll get me some bow staves out of that" , but it was a crooked knotty maple. I cut one limb about 3' diameter 5' long, but after looking at it I think I was just desperate....lol. I did cut out some interesting pieces that I'm going to dry and then make some rustic lamps out of later. :)

Gut wrenching Mark. Just got back home this morning, and we were spared any damage. A few trees down here and there, but otherwise the community here seems unscathed. We will be praying for all that have lost loved ones, and have been injured by these devastating storms, that have been tearing up the south.
