My my, last night was a doozey. Some of you may be familiar with the community I live in (or have been able to make educated guesses ).
Anyway, we had a bout of very nasty storms move through last night, with tornados, and the downtown and residential area near the university I work for were hit very hard. My bus didn't appear to be running this morning, so I walked to work. I walked right through the worst of the damage, and my my...it looked like a war zone.
My home and roommates and cats are fine. I was across town at church last night when the storms moved through, then I inadvertently drove through the worst of the damage right after it had happened, trying to get home. I drove through downed trees, power lines, could smell gas leaks...the whole nine yards.
Again, my neighborhood was fine, and SO and his D are fine too. Unfortunately, the apartment of a friend of mine didn't fare so well. She's concerned about her cat right now. Please keep my community in your prayers as we work today to clean up the mess, assess the damage, and begin rebuilding.
You've probably seen some of this on the national news this morning.
