How awful, Gayle! Unbelievable that the power failed too.

Diana...where are you? I am very worried.

Sorry....I'm here. We had church this morning and then Dae Lynn's been on the computer. Things were pretty calm here. The storm that Janet saw was actually west of us by a couple of counties. We could see the flashes from the lightening but that was all. We had a storm come through about 5 am and I got up and checked the weather on-line but it was just a storm......nothing worse.

They are expecting storms to the east of us this evening. I hope that it's not as bad as they are expecting again. I know that some people don't like warnings like this one......I appreciate knowing that I need to keep an eye on the weather. We live in the country where there are not sirens to depend on.

Gayle, I'm so sorry to hear about your step-sister's community......I had read about it before I got on WT. It said that lightening had hit the siren which would make it inoperable even with a battery back-up. Thank goodness your step-sister and her husband.......and hopefully family......are all alright.

I feel so special that all of you were concerned about me!! Hugs!!!

You are special!! I'm so surprised you didn't mention I woke you up....AGAIN!!! LOLOL I wasn't going to start my day without making sure you were alright.

Gayle how horrible for your step-sister. These storms are getting worse, so many tornadoes, so much damage and loss of lives. I hope everyone affected by these storms are able to get their lives back together.

I just found out that my sister's home was NOT damaged! I'm so glad because she and her husband will have to work so hard to get the community restored. It is just a mess there. The tornado was only a quarter mile wide but stayed on the ground for 2 miles right through the west to the center edge of town. The pictures are just horrible, just like all tornado pics. My sister and brother-in-law have a long road ahead getting this all straightened up. As most of you know, things like this are so hard in small towns where everyone knows everyone or is related.

I'm so glad to hear that your step-sister's house is alright. They will be able to totally focus on the community then. What a job they have ahead of them.

I saw where a father and two small daughters died in their community. How sad. Another child.....a son....is in critical condition. I wonder if the mother is around. I couldn't imagine her pain and what she's going through.
