Just one of those weekends.

I should have known it was going to be a crazy weekend.....Friday evening started out with a bang! We met Bill across town at IHOP (yeah, we live life on the edge, don't we? LOL!) and did some shopping at Lowes, which incidentaly has become one of my favorite places to shop. We got home and chatted with our neighbors for a while and then got a call from another neighbor asking if we could hear the Tornado siren. We couldn't and after looking at the LB High School which is literally a block away we could see the beginnings of a funnel cloud. It was reaching toward the ground and was spinning a bunch of dirt with it. It freaked me out like I've never been before. We threw the kids and the dog down in the basement (not literally, of course) and tried to button down the hatches so to speak. The funnel skipped our neighborhood and touched down from the airport about a mile from us. YIKES!!!! We do NOT need another insurance claim. The flood was a $50,000 loss in August.....I can only imagine what another big claim would do to our premium! All we lost were some shingles and had a lot of debris blown into our yard but nothing major. We're off to a great start this season - 4 Tornados in a month and the season goes til September......fun.
