TWISTER!
I think Konnor and I were in a small tornado yesterday while we were at Brian's cousin Shelley's house. Shelley and I were sitting in the living room with her 1 1/2 year old baby, Kashley, and Konnor and Shelley's boys, Dusty and Tyler, were outside in their tent. All of a sudden the wind picked up so fast that we couldn't see the backyard where the kids were playing from all the dirt and dust flying around. Shelley jumped up and ran outside to get the kids when I heard a crash against one of the windows, so I grabbed the baby and ran into the kitchen where Shelley was trying to get the boys into the backdoor. Konnor and Tyler who were playing in the tent had a large tree limb land on the tent while they were in it and left knots on their heads. (Other than that they were OK). A few minutes later it was all gone, and so we went outside to check Shelley's house and her animals, (they have horses, goats and dogs.) The animals were fine, but one of the barns was blown over, tree limbs were everywhere, including one that was stuck straight in the ground (can you imagine what would have happened to our kids if it had hit them?) , and they had a window upstairs blown out of the house. We saw their neighbor's also lost one of their barns. We never had any tornado warnings or anything, but later yesterday afternoon the paper went to Shelley's house and interviewed her oldest son, Tyler.
