Late in the evening on Saturday, June 5th and into the very early morning on Sunday, June 6th, several tornadoes ripped through our area, the closest ones being only about 4 miles from our house. Today we were able to drive past some of the damage.

On our way back home we were able to drive along with path of the tornado.

It was a rough night that night and there are lots of stories that have been told. Everything from people sleeping through it all, houses being destroyed, people being picked up and killed, the high school and police department being destroyed. One 13 year old girl was sucked out of a house and slammed back down onto the rubble. She was lucky enough to survive. Horses were pulled out of barns as they collapsed and ended up in a neighbor's swimming pool. It's just amazing. All this was only about 4 miles from our house.
