Tornado

Well as I said in my last blog a tornado came through on March 1st. It really tore up this town. It is really devistating to drive through our little community and see the Sumter County has been declared a disaster area signs everywhere. Our hospital is gone, along with all the little mom and pop shops down our streets, it tore Winn-Dixie apart, along with several convenience stores and other things. Total I believe there was around 560 homes hit, 200+ were majorly damaged and the rest minor. We had two deaths, which in itself is hard to believe. My house, goodness my house..We were sitting there watching Tv and the lights flickered, then of course went out, my husband had gotten up to get a candle, and heard it, proceeded to hell do you hear that, get in the bathroom. I grabbed Emily and started to run by the time my husband rounded the corner to my daughters room the windows were blowing out. How in the hell he got to the bathroom I will never know. Emilys bathroom is the only one with no windows. All the other rooms in my house have tons of windows. Emilys room has 14 windows wide and 4 high. All of them blew out, destroying everything in her room. Trees came through her windows. Another through my ceiling over my dining room table, and then through the ceiling in the other bathroom in our room. Total there was 6-7 trees on our house, then my poor car..it never had a chance 2 hit it..Thankfully I had just put pups to bed (their crate) and that saved them because there was no way I could of grabbed them and Emily. One tree came across the ceiling in the living room where they were but it didnt come through the ceiling like the rest...it just cracked the ceiling. The roof..looked liked someone just stood over it and beat it til it feel in..I swear in that 3-4 minutes that was the most damage my eyes had ever seen and ever cares to see again. Emily has PTSD diagnosed on the 3rd. She refuses to sleep alone, which she has never slept with me not even as a baby, I always wanted her to sleep in her room. I didn't want to have to break her from sleeping with me once Darrell came home from Iraq or when she was older. Now she is in bed with me just to fall alseep. She was and still is but getting better with baths..she was at one point screaming anytime she walked near the bathroom. When we drive through town she says "Tees (TREES) bad Tees, mama why tees so bad." Heartbreaking...
Well got to finish up some final exams Chat more later..take care everyone..

March 1st just isnt my day

2005 March 1st my dad passed away. 2006 March 1, 2007 Tornado hit my town. I lost my house and one of my cars but we are still breathing breath, and thats all that matters. I don't have access to a computer unless I am at school and here I am trying to get my finals done for this quarter. I just wanted you all to keep us, my family in your prayers. We have been living in a hotel until this pasted week I moved in with my mother and my husband went to Albany to stay with friends since he works there anyway. He will be home on the weekends and since space is limited at my moms we are staying in a hotel when he is here. All my critters made it through but my town lil ole home...is destroyed. The president actually came here..Guess what he said..let habitat rebuild us since this was where it was founded...yeah right..but I can't write anymore gotta take another test.
Will put up some pictures and post more later.
Take care...
