Today was bleak, overcast, and humid. Right after I got back from dropping off Emmaline at her playdate, it started to hail. First small, and then it got bigger and bigger - about the size of a golf ball eventually. We noted of course that we planted our tomatoes just last night! *sigh*We realized something wasn't right when the hail lasted for so long, and then we noticed the hail was blowing in from one direction, but the clouds were moving in another direction. Then the tornado sirens went off! It made me very grateful for the food and water storage in our basement that is there in case of emergency!
Turns out 6 or 7 tornados hit total. The closest one was about 5-10 miles (reports seem to differ on where it touched) from where we live. The furthest about 40 miles away. Emmaline was pleased to announce after playdate today that they had a picnic in the basement!
