F3 tornado too close to home....





This past Friday at 2am, we had a pretty big scare.... a F3 tornado came right by our home. We had no warnings, no sirens... nothing! Whit woke me up at 2am yelling at me to grab Owen & run.... I can honestly say I don't think I've ever been so scared. We still don't really know why the sirens didn't go off. I've heard the news say that you should have a weather radio, although I've also heard that the folks who had the weather radio on, that it didn't go off either. The next morning we had heard it was just straight line winds & that it was not a tornado. We knew what we felt & heard. Now we know , yes 2 tornados up north, one F2 & ours was the F3. I'll be so happy when I don't remember that sound. Oh, I just heard on the news at 10pm that we are supposed to have more severe weather tomorrow night.... ugh. Here are some pictures of the damage. The last 2 pics were just 4 blocks away. When you look at these & know that no sirens went off, it such a blessing that now one was killed...
