    Glad to hear that you are ok with that! I have lost everything I have ever owned to one of those. I've been inside of one. Yes, I do mean flying around in the air. Not something I ever want to do again. Just so you know, house trailers cannot withstand an F4 tornado. Me and my family barely made it alive. I wish I still had those pictures to show what was left! Well, there wasn't anything left. But anyways, if you need to talk to someone who has been in a similar situation, just let me know.

    Yeah so i was watching the funnel clouds forming near our house and then the lightening hit the tree across the street. it then got dead silent and BAM it went crazy and blew open a window in my sons room where he was sleeping so he woke up screaming! I freaked out , slammed the window closed, and took my son and the 5 dogs into the bathroom and hid. A tornado touched down only a few blocks away. My crazy hubby pretty much drove through it to get home to us (i love him but he's a dummy sometimes)! Im still shaking. And we are still on tornado watch till 9 pm ahhhhhhhhhhhh

    thank god we are are ok and so far there are no reports of any big damage or injuries (we live in the boonies) but VA and NC are in a crazy fight with mother nature! keep everyone in your thoughts and prayers!

    I am in North Carolina and it was awful here today. We finally got our power back and all watches are called off. Hope all is well up there and you and your family are safe

    Sorry to hear you went through this tonight. I also live in Tornado territory (Alabama) and we were under warning/watches from 12 PM yesterday until 9PM last night. The county next to ours had SEVERAL touch down but none made it to us. I have lived here most of my life and you never get "used" to them. First thing I told DH when we built our house is I wanted a storm pit or at least a basement..I got the basement. It was really strange coming back to this area after living in Atlanta for 8 years without a single tornado and here we get at least 3-4 per year within a 15 -20 mile radius from our house so I can't imagine how it must feel for someone who didn't grow up with it. These things are scary and so unpredictable so just stay safe and close to your child until this is all over tonight. Glad you all are safe and glad your "crazy" husband made it home safe.
