Well, Lenae got to experience her first tornado warning. Poor kid was sound asleep when she was plucked out of bed by her brothers and stuffed into the closet with them. She thought it a grand adventure though.
We knew it was bad from the radio reports (we lost electricity shortly after the first sirens sounded and don't know when it'll be back on) but it was a little freaky to get out this morning to go to work and realize there was damage about a block from the house; a street two blocks down has several smashed houses from huge falling trees (our area has lots of large, regal hardwoods and pines). Further south is just... heartbreaking for the folks there. All those big trees, some looking like they had their tops just twisted right off and thrown at houses. I dunno what Cammack looks like but I'm guessing it's ugly too...
We were really lucky - not even any limbs down in our yard.
