Turbulent Tuesday

Actually I guess that is more a turbulent Monday....but it is continuing into Tuesday :)

WOW! What a night we have had in SW Missouri!! We spent the evening into early Tuesday morning in our basement waiting out storm after storm. They have just kept coming in waves through our area for the last 7+ hours (starting before 5pm Monday evening) and are suppose to continue until about 5am today (Tuesday). Once again I have been very thankful to have a basement to take refuge in. I am such a fraidy cat when it comes to these sorts of storms. There have been many tornado touch downs all around us leaving a good amount of damage along with golf ball to baseball size hail. They just announced on the news that there have been 2 confirmed fatality and over a dozen injured that have been taken to the local hospitals. The first storm that went through was recorded as having 106 mph winds in an area about 2 hours northeast of us! My nerves are pretty frazzled :)

Besides all the excitement of the storms, it was a pretty normal, uneventful day. Just taking Drew to and from school and a trip to SAMS.
