I wanted to tell you about our little excitement on Sunday. We were at church and there was about 15 minutes left until church was over. It started to rain and someone heard the tornado sirens go off and went to ask the bishop if we should all go into the gym or something. Before she could walk away, a man walked in and said for everyone to go in the gym b/c there was a tornado outside, he could see it from a distance. So we got everyone in the gym. Wes went to take a look and he said he could see it. Then we heard this really loud banging noise on the roof. Someone came inside with a golf ball sized piece of hail - it was pouring golf balls! Thankfully, the tornado passed by without touching down in our area and we were safe to go home. Not without leaving a mark from the hail, there were dents in lots of cars, including ours. Funny that on the day we took separate cars to church that this would happen. And we noticed our windshield on our jeep has a big crack - but we weren't the only ones. The scary part is that just 5 minutes away at the outdoor strip mall it touched down for 30 minutes, damaged some stores and lifted up cars. We were so lucky that it didn't come our way and it stayed over there. I'm so glad that I don't shop on Sundays - I do enjoy going to that strip mall, we were just there the day before, too! But all is safe and sound and it made for quite an exciting day! Here are a few pictures that I got from my friend Tracy's blog:
