Tornado on Hometown Road

I took this pic of the boys and their new haircuts and then (about 20 min after I took this) we were in our storm shelter. We didn't realize at the time but our street was hit very bad by this tornado.

We had not only ourselves, the dogs but Max's beloved snapping turtle Bowser~Snap all in the storm shelter waiting for my storm tracker Mom in Tulsa to give us the ALL CLEAR~ Gregg and Max peaked out at one point and saw the Tornado swirling over our house~ it was very humbling experience and Hope it doesn't happen again anytime soon.

There was a house here~ several houses on either side are just GONE~ My camera is acting up I took several pictures today but this was the only one that stayed in the memory~ I am in awe of how people in Texoma come together the clean up crews have almost all the debris picked up. SOOOOOO thankful we have a storm shelter ;)

pictures from around our neighborhood.

from 41st street on our drive to mom's.

another neighborhood shot.

our back yard - it is actually worse today - if you can believe it. our shed is now crushed by a tree limb.

our fence.

barely missing our car. today, there is like half our tree's limbs right where eric's car is now. our street is almost impassable.

still no power. we are at mom's who has power and a fireplace. we are so thankful we have a place to go. so many friends are in the dark and cold. this ice storm is really devastating. but at least our house and cars have managed to avoid being missed by the massive tree limbs that keep falling. keep your fingers crossed that it stays that way.
