Scary Weekend

It was a very scary weekend for a great deal of central United States as tornadoes and straight line winds and wind sheer did a great deal of damage in many towns. I believe Oklahoma got hit the worst of all. I heard there were 120 tornadoes just this weekend and Oklahoma got hit the worst. However, Kansas and Nebraska also were hit as well. We got rain which we needed badly, however, the tornadoes went all around us and up to Minnesota. I haven't heard yet just how bad it was in Wisconsin but it was headed that way and to Chicago. Guess I will go watch some news now and see what happened there.

This is one of the saddest events yet. Most of the town is gone along with 12 dead so far and lots more injured. They said the winds were 205 mph and they are thinking they are going to have to set up a new scale for tornadoes as they seem to be getting stronger all the time. I believe this year is going to set a very real and scary new record for most tornados. It is very hard for us to really grasp the enormity of losing your home, maybe part of your family, your whole town and all the jobs that go with it. I don't think we have any idea how these poor folks feel and I am happy to hear of any aid that is headed their way. I'm sure the 700 Club will be there with their big semi trucks carrying food and water. FEMA is supposed to get them trailers, but they aren't any good until they get electricity.
