Survived the latest round of storms

We've survived another round of storms. 

This morning after I found that a tornado had touched down this close >< to my in-laws house I was really on edge about the storm coming my way.  Ater I received word that school was letting out early so the kids would be home before the severe stuff hit; I gathered 'storm supplies' and put them on the kitchen table.  Then I sat back to wait on the weather, the closer it got the more nervous poor Darcy got.  Jordan got home and I told him to leave his shoes on and if I hollered "Run!" he was to drop everything and run to the storm shelter.  Not to question or say 'hold on a sec.' just run and I'd be behind him.  I lost TV and the internet before the first loud clap of thunder hit.  Once that hit, Darcy cowered under my desk while I was sitting here...when I moved, she was stuck to me like Velcro.  The storm blasted through, high winds, blasting rain, no hail and I kept expecting to see a tree or branch blow by.  But, nothing.  The TV came back on just in time for a tornado warning to be declared for my corner of the county.  I stuck around long enough to see that the storm had passed us and the warning was for people to the east and north of us.  So, even though my specific little town was mentioned in the warning....we didn't 'seek shelter'.

Now, it is raining and the bad stuff is well east and north of us.

ah...springtime in Alabama.

oh, and no damage to my in-laws house (which is good 'cause they are out of town.)  But, apparently the tornado caused damage to some buildings within a mile of their place, and then it hopped over the main part of town and went towards the mall and hit a tractor supply place, tossing tractors and other outside equipment around.  As far as I've heard there weren't any injuries.

ah....springtime in Mississippi.
