Holy crap look at the damage that the tornado did to the sidewalk as it tore up a tree.  All people have fears.  I would have to say that my number one fear is mother nature.  I grew up in Romeo, which at the time was extremely rural,in a mobile home park.  I have until recently been horrified by storms no matter how meek or strong.  I was still scared but was able to for once be somewhat calm.  Now this tornado came crashing onto my neighborhood.  It was a strange day, not sure how I will feel the next time a storm passes through.  I was out of the area when the storm hit but looking at the aftermath gives me the total creeps.  I live in such a small close knit town.  This will be all the talk for a while. It is so strange because whenever there is bad weather we will talk that there is some kind of block around us.  There will be severe storms and tons of damage but our square  rarely ever seems to get hit.  The plymouth locals that were at home when the tornado hit experienced it all at least 10 minutes before the sirens went off.  It rained like crazy all day in Michigan but I can guess that none of us would have imagined that the weather  condition was likely for a tornado.  When Erik and I arrived home from our night out I was shocked.  When we were sitting and talking I told him that if the sirens were to go off before hand and we were at home I would have been like why are they going off and thought it was some type of malfunction.  We hear them every first Saturday of the month at 1:00.  The fact that this tornado turned up so quick that there could be no warning is so scarey.  I feel that this wonderful town that I live in with all it's beautiful people and businesses were truely blessed.
