Guess what we did Wednesday night? At 3:55 am, we woke up and heard hail pelting our bedroom window and great, roaring winds outside in the trees. At 3:56 am, we jumped out of bed, yelled upstairs for Matt to come down, and we all ran into our downstairs bathroom under the stairs to cower and listen to the weather report on the radio. Thankfully, our power stayed on. Thankfully, the winds did not damage our roof or our house. Thankfully, the storm blew over in 20 minutes. The bad news, as you can see, is the loss of our beautiful tree that blew down in front of the house. Due to the fact that the limbs were spread out in all directions, we assume the winds were more than just straight line winds. Some neighbors are even throwing down the "T" word! The Barnabys, Davis's, and Edwards all lost huge, old trees at the creek edge in back of their homes. We are thankful that we were safe and our house was undamaged. I'd still rather deal with Texas weather than California earthquakes!

I'm glad you were safe! And I also realized we are not prepared for any sort of emergency, so Dave, Whop and I will be coming to your house next time! jk
:( I love that tree! I'm glad you are all safe and that you have that crazy radio!
I'm really going to miss that tree!! It's been there for as long as I can remember. I'm glad you're all safe and I hope you let Mattie sleep in the next morning. can't wait to see you next week!

So ... I'm glad all y'all are safe ... I guess that tree can't have TP in it anymore
