Stormy Weather

Last Friday night we found ourselves seeking shelter in the closet under the stairs for about 30 minutes (thankfully that's where we keep the toys!). The tornado sirens went off and the weather forecasters were telling everyone in our viewing area to seek shelter as they were seeing rotation in the clouds although nothing had touched down yet. The winds were blowing at 60-70 mph, hurricane force, and the rain was coming down so hard we couldn't see the neighbors' houses across the street. So, while mommy and the girls were obeying the weather forecaster, daddy was taking pictures and video. We got 3 and 1/2 inches of rain in about an hour.
