TORNADO ALLEY

In the midst of all of this packing, I decided to reward Ean for his birthday with a clean, detailed, organized vehicle :)  I had been working in the hot sun ALL day to ensure his new car - I even went to Advanced Auto Parts to purchase some new duds for his ride, when all of a sudden....


OMG! It GOT PITCH BLACK OUTSIDE, the rain started falling, hard - THE POWER WENT OUT, AND WE WERE TOLD TO MOVE TO THE BACK OF THE STORE - fast!!!!   


THE WIND CAME, TREES SNAPPED, WINDOWS SHOOK, THE ROOF SHOOK, AHHH.....I HAD NO PHONE TO CALL EAN TO TELL HIM I LOVE HIM....nor my family - there was no notice - this was really happening. 


A TORNADO WAS SWEEPING THROUGH MY WORLD....metaphorically speaking to I thought as if that was my last one....


Then just as it was so loud, it became so quiet.  The twister passed, sparing us.  But not my back porch, nor the entire Hampton Roads area.  

My heart goes out to those families in Joplin, Missouri - I wish I could be there helping all of you instead of cleaning Ean's car :) xoxoxo
