We just bunker down, pray & wait it out. We've never been hurt but the aftermath has sometimes been a long clean-up process! Just this year our river flooded it banks 3 times & closed the bridges twice in 3 months, I live in Nebraska & in 60 years I've seen quite a few bad storms..<br />We did a road trip to Las Deanna Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01589351351698020082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35193502.post-55566302758392309512015-11-01T09:34:25.563-08:002015-11-01T09:34:25.563-08:00I remember driving through Nebraska about 10 years...I remember driving through Nebraska about 10 years ago on my way hom from college. My car was being pushed between lanes and branches blew across the highway. Then I looked into my review mirror and saw a black funnel cloud. the radio said it was coming my way.

I looked out and saw a young tree doubled over touching the ground from the strong winds. Heard what sounded like a freight train in the distance. We had no basement so huddled in the corner of the kitchen away from windows and prayed for God's protection.

Not very long after my daughter, Linda, was born I was was watching two of a friend's daughters so she could take her baby to the doctor. That means I had my newborn, (under a month old), a two year old, a four year old, and our miniature poodle. I looked outside and saw a storm was approaching.

One summer was particularly bad. Early one evening the sirens went off. I was looking out the window and I could see this wall was coming right at the house. We headed down to the basement and it was so dark we had to turn the lights on. Don't know Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01091076981043828400noreply@blogger.com
