Quite a Day in Tennessee

WOW, yesterday was just unbelievable! The started okay with some cleaning at the church and then we were going to get ready for our MOMS Club Easter Egg Hunt that I had moved from outside to inside our sanctuary because of the rain. We got home and prepared lunch and the rain kicked up, we watched it hail outside. I called my neighbor who has left me a message asking about the egg hunt, she said if the weather got bad they wouldn't be there. At that point I turned on the TV and watched the severe weather coverage. I didn't realized quite the severity. We watched for a while and Bret called us, while he was on the phone he heard over the intercom that they were to go to their "Safe Place". We continued watching and then saw this video....



840 is just a few miles from our house. At that point we moved to the bedroom away from all of the windows and closer to our safe place, the toilet closet in our bathroom. I then heard some people calling in from the Blackman community stating that they spotted tornadoes. That community is also just a few miles from our house. We made our way into the bathroom, listening to the TV and internet coverage . At some point we moved into the little toilet closet and kept in contact with our friends Kim and Joe who were watching the weather since our satellite went out. We were praying that the LORD would keep us safe as well as our friends and family. We still had internet and power. It was quite scary and we must have gotten some pretty heavy rain during that last storm line because I could hear the heavy rain from where we were. It finally passed and the sun started shining, WOW! Once or satellite came back up we watched the coverage and realized how blessed we are that a tornado didn't hit our neighborhood. There has been many destroyed homes in Murfreesboro and two confirmed deaths as well as a number of injuries. It is still emotional for me to think about the destruction. Videos and pictures are still coming in to the news station of different tornadoes, there were so many.
