So, the tornado hit my home town. About... not even 10 minutes away from my house. At 3 in the morning, one of my friends called me to wake me up and tell me there was a tornado on the ground and heading towards us. So, thanks to him, my mom and I got the cat and went to safety. This morning we found out it was a lot worse than we expected and that it hit the mobile home park that a family friend lives in. She and her daughters are all right, thankfully. We don't have any power at home right now, and it looks like it's gonna be like that for a few days. The water plant doesn't even have electricity. There were police officers directing at the stop lights, etc. There are tree limbs and power lines everywhere and all in the streets. So far the death toll is about 20. They called in the local National Guard. Bob found out about the tornado, all the way in Iraq and had to call to see if we were ok. We are. Our house wasn't even hit, and I'm really thankful for that. So, I'm spending the next few days and my dad's, and my sister is staying at one of her friend's. My mom is staying at home during the day and sleeping at a friends during the night.

My grandma called to find out if we were ok. We said yeah, so she told my mom, "If your daughters need anything, they can call me. You're free to come over as long as you're willing to deal with everything that's happened." So basically, if she goes over there, they're gonna treat her like shit because they're racist pricks. My mom's boyfriend is black, and so they've disowned her. They haven't spoken to her in years. They don't deserve a family, and they need to stop trying to talk to me. And unfortunatly, the only way we're ever going to have a family again is if something happens to my grandparents. They won't invite my mom, their daughter, over for Christmas, but they'll invite her ex-husband, a man they never even liked. I fucking hate family.
