Scary Night

Well, last night was scary to say the least! We had storms and multiple tornadoes come through the Memphis area and Jackson. Pray for the students and faculty at Union University. The entire campus is severely damaged. Fortunately, there were no fatalities there, but there were a few injuries.

We sustained some minor damage to our house because of the baseball sized hail! When the brunt of the storm came through, hail was hitting our house like gunfire. Two windows were broken, and we have a little roof and siding damage. Overall, we feel very fortunate and blessed.

We made a makeshift storm shelter in a closet under our front stairway. The kids were actually excited to get in it! Clancy played with the flashlight and Canaday and Jack read books. The children's bedrooms are all upstairs, so we had them sleep in our room last night until the last of the severe weather passed through around midnight. They were excited about that too, of course!
Thank you, Lord for keeping us safe.



In the closet - no fear there! Clancy is "in control" of the flashlight.

I've been thinking about you guys since I found out how bad Jackson, TN got hit. I'm so glad to hear you are okay, Praisr God!!! Pastor Scott Thomas' daughter is a student Union Univeristy, but I haven't heard where she was during the storm and if her dorm/apt. was damaged....I've asked around but no one knew anything.
