We were predicted to have some nasty weather last night with high winds (up to 60 mph), heavy rain, hail, and possible tornadoes. Then they moved it to daybreak. Then to the afternoon. Well we spent most the day at home in the sunshine playing in the driveway waiting on the bad weather.
Zion was having a really bad time. He has been most upset since he had a bad reaction to the liquid steroid for his bronchitis on Saturday (it involved 3+ hours of blood curdling screaming and kicking legs and flying arms). So we decided to see if we could ride him to sleep while getting the girls an ice cream cone.

As we left Sonic, the bottom fell out. The stoplights were blowing sideways, the rain coming in sheets, the hail bouncing off the car. We pulled over in hopes that it might pass and we could see the road enough to get home to safely before anything else happened. It lightened up enough for us to get home. But once we got to our house we saw we could not get in the driveway because there was a tree that had fallen across the driveway, pulling all the lines from our house as it fell. And a tree was directly across the street in front of house, resting in our front yard, with multiple power lines and power poles ripped down in the process, several which blocked the entrance to our driveway.

Nabila Grace,
I am thankful that you are ok and have your power back! We are going to go home this morning and see if they cut the tree down out of the road and if they fixed those power lines so we can hire someone to fix the lines to the house.
Laura,
Thank you for your prayers. They are much needed. Rest is so hard. Life loves curve balls. : ) Love you!
Praying for you, dear Emily!
Wow you guys really got hit hard. We didn't get much on our end of the county. My husband works 20 minutes south and they had much more damage. We heard of an elderly man from Chattanooga that was trapped in his home on the news from the internet. My kids were so worried about him! They don't like storms and neither do I. We hid out in a downstairs closet for awhile. So wish we had a basement. Missy
Missy,
I am glad to know that you guys didn't get so hard. If we had of been at home we would have been in the basement. The car was one scary place to be! The man trapped in his home was right down the road from us!!!
