We survived our first Tornado


9news picture of the tornado, I believe that the houses in front of the tornado are in the subdivision that we live in. It wasn't really that close to them


We had our first experience with a tornato this weekend. It was raining really hard around our house and all of a sudden a cop was driving around the neighborhood on his loud speaker. There is a tornado in the area, he was saying. I couldn't understand him but I knew something was up. Just then our friend Sam called our phone and said that there was a tornado by our house and he was coming to our house. We never really saw the tornado because it was raining and hailing too hard for us to see. Nothing major was damaged and we only got strong winds, tons of rain, and lots of hail. Our cars have some small dents but nothing to severe. We kind of wished out black avalon got hit so we could get a new paint job but sign, no luck. I think that I can offically check off living through a tornado off my life experience list. Next, maybe an earthquake......


This is the edge of the storm


Hail after one minute

Wow, I am glad you survived also- that could have been really scary. Maybe it is a good thing you couldn't see it :) Ok, you probably thought it was cool, but not me- I would have called my mommy and cried! :)

Is God punishing Coloradoans for something we did? How 'bout you ask, since it is obviously you guys he's after :) Then let me know so we can avoid getting pummeled by the weather.

The car didn't come from a box, it came from Joe's parents...jeez, don't you read??
