whew I got worried about my MIL there for a minute. She lives in Joplin but that's like the lower eastern corner of MO. I can't imagine living where tornadoes are so frequent. We get a few here every now and then but I must admit I have only ever seen the tail of one ...it was on April fools one year and my dh was standing at the back door hollering for me to come see the tornado..I was like, nope.....not falling for it, not coming. He finally SCREAMED to COME SEE NOW and I ran to the back door and saw the tail of it swirling back up into the sky. We lived in a single wide mobile home then and it would have nailed us I bet. A couple neighborhoods over, one of my friends' girls were being babysat in a doublewide trailer. The lady that was babysitting grabbed her OWN kids and went to the bathroom and left one of my friend's girls asleep in a playpen in a sunroom with three walls of GLASS! The room blew totally away ....and get this...the baby in the playpen were the ONLY things left in that room! They found the ceiling fan from that sunroom like 4 miles away? LOL Dont' know why I had to ramble on and on about that but ya'll just got me thinkin'!
Glad everyone is okay though!
