Mercy, I hope y'all made it through that terrible storm alright ! Hubby
and I agreed we had never seen the like, and we are old as dirt ! Well, I
am ....he is 10 months younger...*grin* ..Continuous lightning was on 3
sides of us...way up high...We watched through the front storm door for
ever so long...never a letup...just lightning flashing and back behind
the trees where it did nothing but light up the sky...On and on...When
the terrible winds and rain hit we closed the door fast enough! A pretty
little bird house in the huge tree out front was swinging wildly one
minute...the next...gone ...Several of the gourds and houses have baby
birds in them,....Hope this one house was empty....We'll be out looking
bright and early to see if we can save the little songsters..We
especially love the little jenny wrens....

My prayers are with all of the people...hoping none are suffering
injuries or loss of their homes tonight ! We slid right between 2
tornadoes , and that's enough to give me the Big Eye, but I think I must
try to catch some zzzzzzz's.....Jeannie T
