Teresa and our extended Lamb family have been through many hurricanes, tornados and fires and our brother ,Doug, tells of a tornado that awoke him from sleep an d Doug got up to run for cover but no matter which direction he ran, his bedroom dresser was running in front of him. If he turned left the dresser turned left, right and the dresser went right.
Praise GOD all are safe!
Was this the one about 7 pm? I was in the shower, always here noises in the shower. But this one was loud and scary. Guess I was in the best place. Lol. Sounded at first like a release from the paper mill then the train.
Thank goodness your family and Cooper are safe and sound.
Praise God no one was hurt! That was very scary. The winds were moving my trailer, and Im miles from Mckenzie. Sounded like something big hit outside but cant see yet. So glad your dog is safe and sound. Lets not do that again please. Thunder, lightning, and rain arent bad, but the wind scares me! Thanks to our precious Lord everyone is unhurt.
Glad everyone is OK! Things can be replaced and I hope any animals there are safe.
