One evening as we were eating the kids noticed out the window there was a storm coming so we decided to watch it out of our window and then eventually went out to the back porch to get a better look. The sky looked so dark and you could tell it was a big Texas storm. As we would run out in the rain and the very small hail we noticed the hail was getting bigger and the clouds were looking a little scary. Just as we were noticing all this the phones started ringing. First my brother in-law called to tell us to turn on the T.V., then friends who lived near by who were saying the same. To make a long story short we did get our bathroom ready with 72 hour kits, radios and the crib mattress to put over the bathtub as we prepared for the funnel clouds above us to form a tornado. It was scary for about 2 min. but the tornado never formed and all was well. Those two minutes made us realize just how quickly things can go wrong and how we need to heed to the counsel that the leaders of our church have given us, to be prepared for any emergency that may arise. Autumn and Keston still talk about tornados all the time and always asks if we can see one.
