This will give you an idea about our storm last night!! I got up at 2:15 am when it hit our town and I thought the hail was going to break the glass in the patio door! I woke up Kelly and she came upstairs and she thought it sounded really bad, too! We didn't get the damage they did closer to Independence and Kansas City ! It was pretty scary!!

Glad you both are ok. We are getting severe weather today. I sure hope it is not like what you all got.
DANG! That was a WHOPPER! Glad you and yours are okay! Sending prayers for those harder hit!
If we got any winds and hail, I slept through it.
Hi Carolyn, What a scary night for you and the family.. I am glad you had no damage.. I would not sleep until the storm had passed...We are seeing a lot of this kind of weather.It will get on your nerves when they come close to your house..praying for the people who were hurt or had damage to their homes..hugs, Baba
Grams,
What a vicious storm. We saw the devastation on the news. I can't believe it. I have a few friends in Arkansas. Two are bloggers and one is not. I have not heard from any of them, but will check Diane and Karen's blogs. I will email my friend Bertha. She lives in northwest Arkansas, near Paris, and I'm not sure if the storm hit near there or not.
I'm so thankful that you are alright and that others you know are also fine. It seems that storms are growing in intensity by the day. That must have been very frightening.
Take care and have a good weekend. I will be praying for your family and all those hit by the storm.
Love and hugs,
Mary
I am so grateful you are all alright. I do hope that your loved ones were also kept safe.
I read and heard about this all...so so sorry to have it happen. Hope that the government will help those in need this time.
How scary for you, Grams. I'm glad you're all okay. It has been a stormy Spring. Prayers for all those people affected by it. We were under a severe thunderstorm watch yesterday until noon, but all we got is rain, and lots of it! Today it's sunny and cooler.
Have a good weekend.
Hugs,
Renie
glad you are all okay after that storm. We just had a smaller thunder storm-nothing to talk about.
It is just really cold today.
Hope you are enjoying your weekend.
Glad you are all okay. I knew the storms were bad. We got lots of rain and thunder all night here in Alabama, but nothing like your storm. I have friends in AK, but I think they are all okay.
I was hoping that you were all okay!! I know just how scary that can be. Believe me I have been in enough tornadoes. Never want to do that again!!
So happy you are fine.
Sandy
