Rainy Night....Peaceful....Not Like a Night Back in March of 2000

It has been cloudy and looked like rain all day. I went to the store and got a Rotisserie lemon chicken and made a salad. After dinner I sat down to watch" Garage Sale Mysteries" on Hallmark. My favorite channel.

Little bit later here the rain started. Thundering and a little bit of lightening. Jana had left at 4 to go to Belton. She is the Cub Scout leader and two of her kids Colton and Connor are in her pack . They had a two day camping trip planned so hopefully it is not raining there.

Then I was texting my son Allen and he was fixing to get on a plane from Atlanta and his flight  had been delayed. He had been in Atlanta for a few days at a cleaners convention and he said it had rained all week.

My daughter Darla and her husband went to Missouri where their daughter Sydney is in college today. She is in track and they went to watch her. She is real good in  sports

Sounds like everyone had somewhere to go today. I am so glad I didn't have to go anywhere tonight. Just stay home and watch the mystery movie. I try not to get out if it looks like a storm.

Back in March of 2000 when that tornado came thru Fort Worth Jana and I were right in the middle of it in our car. We had went to the Sonic that night to get burgers on University. We lived on 7th Street at that time. While we were waiting on the burgers we heard sirens. We left the Sonic and drove down University and turned on 6th Avenue . Wrong thing to do! We were right in the middle of a tornado. We seen dumpsters in the air and all kinds of trash. I pulled up as close as I could get to a building. Another car was there too. All of my windows on my side blew out. Even the  back one came out. Wind so strong on my face I could not get a breath. We sat there with seat belts on until it was over. Then we drove home and all kinds of things were in the road. So very scary. Several people died that night.

Now when  a storm come's up you can bet I will  be at home. Cozy and secure in my house.....
