Wow, what an afternoon we had here in Southeast Texas yesterday.
Woke up at 3:00AM, not because I wanted to, mind you. One of our two kitty cats decided he wouldn’t rest until everyone else in the bedroom was up with him. Personally, I think he just wanted someone’s place in the bed. Since I was up anyway, I decided it was a great time to get this blog finished and ready for publishing…done. Everyone else in the house gets up at their regular times, cleaning time, laundry, talked with another Charm on the phone (Lil’ Squirt) for a while and then off to run errands with my son.
We’d just finished our business and was thinking of going and doing a little school shopping when I overheard someone say a tornado just hit some stores. Tornado…excuse me? We haven’t had one of those touch down in our area in years. Well, it just so happens, we live in the same neighborhood as those stores.
I grabbed my cell and called family still at home to make sure they were okay. Hubby said everything was fine (he was watching the news broadcast of the damage on TV at the time). Told me I’d better find an alternate way home as roads were shut-down due to damage and debris on the roads. Silly me, I took the direct route (made it through) and as we drove over we saw the damage. As we looked, my son reminded (oh so gently) that those stores were the one’s we were talking about going to. If I hadn’t told him “no” (because of the rain coming in), we’d have been there when the tornado hit.
See, sometimes Moms are right…lol!
Unfortunately, we’ve got more bad weather for the next three days. Keep your fingers crossed!
Lixxx’s & Kisses…
