Last week was a more eventful week then I think anyone anticipated in the first days of March. I am sure most have heard even if you are not in the area the tornadoes that have hit the Midwest.
I know for most around the "tri-state area" as we say around here Wednesday was an early morning for many. We live right in the city so when the sirens go off for bad weather we hear them without any problems. For our small family we are not up anywhere near 5is/5:30ish. We were fortunate that around our home we only had some heavy rain and high winds. But that was the morning that the tornado's hit many places just east and south of us.
Round two lasted a good part of the day on Wednesday. I am not sure how many tornado's hit but in southern Indiana and Kentucky (which from here is like a 5/10 min drive) were hit pretty hard. I remember stepping out that morning for my run and it was like 70 degrees. My first thought was "wow this is going to be a nice day" then I looked at the sky...it wasn't looking like a very promising day. And very sadly for some it was a very tragic day. Thomas was dismissed from preschool early, along with many other schools in the area. It was a sight to see the skies that day. We are very fortunate to have a basement and I am glad it was one of those "must-haves" on our list when we were looking for homes.
Around our little neighborhood we had some pretty high winds, hard rain and hail. The above pic is from about 20 mins north of here in a small town of Fort Branch close to were Eric works. Our hail was not quite that big but many places around here had some even bigger. All the photos above are pics from our tristate area. We were very fortunate and happy to report we had really no damage around our home and that everyone was safe and sound. Sadly that cannot be said for others.
