My house and Family survived a tornado.
it can happen to
You never think you will
Ever be in a tornado.
We have had ones that
Where close to us.
It always seemed like
We were in an area that
Was protected.
There have always been
Storms and tornadoes all
Around us, but it was never us.
That changed on January 12, 2023.
I was at work when I received
The tornado warning.
I shut down the Gas Station
And hid in the Bathroom
Until my boss told me
To come out.
Meanwhile my sister was in
Kroger when it got hit.
Now we come to the person
That was in the trailer when the
Tornado came by.
He was in an interior closet.
He was on the phone with
His mom. She said Kroger
Got hit then a few minutes later
One came by our trailer.
He was screaming and laughing
The whole time.
Everyone is O.K.
All the animals are fine.
The amount of damage and
Trees that are down is insane.
Every way home was blocked.
Trees and powerlines down
Everywhere.
Good Samaritans made my
Dirt road passable.
Then some more good people
Cleared our driveway so
We could get in it.
There are still a ton of big trees
Down in our yard.
It is now Sunday the 15th
And we still have no power.
Some of the roads near my house
Still are not passable.
The city part of my county
Took the most structural damage.
Hopefully most will be open soon.
There is one store they will
Have to rebuild.
My house survived so far.
As you can see in the picture
There is still a big limb
Over our house.
My little piece of country
Is not protected anymore.
It can happen to us.
I am glad my family is O.K
