(no subject)
It has been so long since I have updated that I had to go back and read my last entry.
There is a lot to say, and not much time to do it. I want to take a nap here shortly before I go to work. I have to make the two hour drive home tonight.
So anywho!
September 11th was kind of creepy! I remember walking out that day a year ago, and thinking to myself, "What a gorgeous day, not a cloud in the sky." September 11th of 2002, I thought the exact same thing. We had five minutes of silence at my morning elementary site. I am very surprised our kids could keep their mouths shut for that long. Our morning kids are almost if not more loud than my afternoon kids. Enough about that day.
On September 20th, as few as four and as many of nine tornadoes ripped through Indianapolis's south side. I was at the Walgreens by campus, and there is a fire station right on the corner, and the tornado sirens went off. I was talking to my mom on the phone, and she asked what that noise was, and I told her. I said it was nothing that the last time it happened the tornado never touched down and it was 12 miles away. So I told her I would call her when I got home. So I was driving down State Road 135, and all of the sudden it started pouring rain. I could not see ten feet in front of me. So I put on my brakes, and my mom called. I told her I was caught in a bad storm, and she told me to pull over. I told her I just wanted to get home. At the point of the down pour, I was at the intersection Stop 11 Road and State Road 135. Baxter YMCA, Galyans, and Pier One Imports is on US 31 and Shelby Street, right off of Stop 11 and Shelby. In other words those buildings were about a fourth of a mile from me. As I was crossing that intersection a tornado was wiping out those buildings. I work at Baxter and it might have to be leveled so they can rebuild it. There is a big building just south west of the main building. It is probably about the size of a kid's softball diamond if not bigger. It was moved seven feet off of it's foundation. Our softball diamond is gone, there are no more trees out in the yard of Baxter, but yet a church right behind Baxter went completely untouched. Weird huh? There was only one death, and several injured out of the entire south side that was hit. Several homes were lost, but those can be replaced. No one at Baxter was injured. Which is totally awesome because there were 50 kids and 40 adults. All of the workers got all of the children down to the basement rather quickly. Go Baxter Staff!!
So yeag I think that is about it. Well everything that can be a public post anyway. There are some things that are irritating me other than that, but that will be posted at a later date, and it will be a secured entry. So if you are not on my friends list, I am sorry.
Does anyone read this anyway? Probably not, so it doesn't matter.
