Boy was I wrong!!!!

That storm came right over us today. Thank goodness the house was all closed up!!Now it's stalled right by us. I had to leave to go to a safe spot when they issued a tornato warning. It hit about a quarter of a mile from here. Damaged 51 homes, 9 of them totaled. Only three injured. All's well for now. This thing is supposed to go off shore, become a hurricane and turn back into FL. Way North of here. Of course it wasn't to come to the east coast at all-- so much for predictions.
Really, we were lucky and they do tell us when a tornado is possible.I have the storm radio in the bedroom and can move fast when I have to.I still love it here-- call me crazy!! martha

Martha, I'm so glad you're OK. Tornados can be worse than hurricanes - they're so unpredictable. Living here in the tornado belt is like Russian roulette at times.
It's a blessing no one was killed. Stay safe.
Many hugs,
Martha,
Sure glad you didn't get blown away, and now we are just hoping we will get some rain out of all that mess.
When we were watching the news last night, I said that looks like it will go right over Martha's!

My gosh, the news on our channels said that Florida was okay and for the most part hadn't hit Florida, and believe it or not there was no mention of a tornado.
Martha I would be a basket case if I had to worry about hurricanes and tornado's. The most we have to worry about it temp, earthquakes and not very many of them. I can't imagine having to start all over, glad that your ok, sleep the good sleep. hugs
