Tornado Devastation

Sydney's school

again, the school

looking through town towards the 4 way stop. This was a great small town.

golf ball sized hail

This is Sydney's daycare inside a church. This is where she was when the tornado hit. Fortunately, they have a basement and all the kids were safe.

The parking lot of the daycare, where all the cars were damaged.

What's left of my favorite house in town.

Same house.

So, all I can say is that I'm very thankful that my baby girl was safe. And with her anxiety issues, I was scared that she would be in a full blown panic attack. But she told me she just got in the bathroom and sang "Jesus Loves Me." She is such an angel and I'm thankful she's here with me. It's remarkable that all the kids were safe since most of them were still on buses when it hit. I personally have never witnessed such destruction and chaos. I am so thankful for all the cops, firefighters, military people and whoever else showed up to help the town. It was very moving to see all the help coming in. We had a friend who had pulled over in the school parking lot during the storm and watched it pass right in front of him and collapse the school. Amazingly, his car suffered very little damage and he was unharmed. So, I'm counting my blessings today for sure.
