woo hoo!! guess who is still alive with a house and everything?!?!
ME THATS WHO
man guys talk about hell! lake wales actually made it on CNN. talk about a day to go down in history. i wish i had power then to see that.
my house is still standing THANK GOD. i was so fricken scared. we packed up the house that morning and had like 10 minutes to get out of my house and head up to the church. i drove in the pouring rain. winds were blowing people off the road but we made it. three tornados were reported to be heading straight for me when we were heading off. geez.
the church lost all of its giant oak trees. they were all up rooted and blown all over the place. i saw one fall on someones car (high light of the night).
came home. lost 8 windows, a sliding glass door, all of our carpet was soaked, the roof over mine and my little sisters room is almost gone, so we both have leaks in out ceiling, everyones carport was in our front yard. we have a little hole in the side of the house (next to my room of course) but besides that im still alive.
i just got power back TODAY. at 1:30AM my mother comes running into my room flicks on my light and screams... "TIFNI WE HAVE POWER." and goes running through out the house like she has totally lost her mind!!
we were out of power for 6 days! no blow drying flat ironing air conditioning microwaving clothes washing hot water using seeing at night watching tv listening to the raido NOTHING. for 6 days. hell......
i have lots of pictures and as soon as my computer is hooked back up i will up load. man...
the mall and the places i work are totally flooded my store has anckle deep water in it. woo hoo. so ill be out of work for like ever.
i love tyler for taking care of me for the couple nights he could.
