Tornados!!!

So this was the first time I have ever totally freaked out about a storm.  We were told to get in our shelter and stay there. We got in and the first storm passed...then we came out. A few minutes later a stronger storm came and we got back in! Now we are watching the news just waiting for all the storms to pass. We had golf  ball size hail...I have never seen hail that big before. I got both the girls and went under our stairway. That is the safest place in our home. You are supposed to go in the most center part of your home on the lowest floor away from windows. About 3-4 miles north and 1 mile west of us was hit pretty hard. It is a really nice neighborhood on the golf course that was hit really bad. It is so scary! Hopefully we will continue to be safe overnight. February is not a month where we really have tornados. May is usually the best month for them. My cousin lives a few miles away and she is without power because the power lines all by her house are down. Super scary!

Holy cow... storms scare the crap out of me. Good luck! And Brynlee's blessing dress was so cute!
