    Default Made it through the tornado

    Had a tornado touch down less than a 1/4 mile away from the house early Tuesday morning (around 2am) Actually it looks as if it just skipped Momma's street and got the surrounding areas. Except for being without electricity up until an hour ago we made it through just fine. The power wasn't out long at my house so DH and I emptied out Momma's fridge and hauled it out to our house, so we didn't even lose any groceries!


    We had to put our snake into a pillowcase and keep him in bed with us to keep him warm but he made it through perfectly. Sure missed all ya'll!

    I'm very happy to hear you are all safe. I like the snake in the pillowcase idea.

    We get them a lot here in Cleveland. I've seen huge, 100 year old trees flying past my house. They are very dangerous. Glad you're alright.
