I know where he gets it:):)

We've had some CRAZY weather here today! This morning the tornado sirens went off at 5:15 AM, then the power went out around 5:45 (so getting ready this morning was not fun!). On the way to work, I saw about 6-7 HUGE trees uprooted. We got out of school early. Bryan came over not long after in a tizzy! He was all geared up for the storms!!






He parked our cars at the end of the street, in case we need to exit quickly!





He got all the flashlights, candles, radios, and blowup beds ready in the hallway.





He cleaned out his closet and we did a tornado drill- yelling 'GET IN THE CLOSET", and we all piled into the closet. The girls absolutely loved it. We looked like fools--- but better safe than sorry, huh?!






We put the chair in the hall for the girls to get under if needed.






shoes were strategically placed in case we needed to exit quickly to the cars parked at the end of the driveway!





Then a F4/F5 tornado hit Tuscaloosa- about a mile wide. I've never seen anything like it. THen another, a mile wide, hit downtown B'ham. SCARY! About that time, Bryan ran into the kitchen and saw our tree fall! So glad it fell the way it did and not on our house.






But we did have roof damage to the playhouse:(....better this roof then the new one we just had put on our house a month ago!

101 tornados, 375,000 power outages, and 25 confirmed deaths in already. Pray for Alabama and all who have been affected. hope it's over soon.
