It is quite unusual to have severe thunderstorms in SW MO in Jan. But Monday night we paid the price of having 70 degree weather over the weekend. By the time I left work the weather was too bad to get home. So I travelled to my aunt and uncle's in Battlefield (I don't think I will ever learn that Battlefield is in the path of the storm). We spent from 5:45 to about 8:30 in the tornado shelter at Battlefield First Baptist Church. If you ever need a shelter they have a good one and are well prepared. While I was in Battlefield Craig and Jared were at home in our basement and storm shelter. It is bad to be in the storms but it is worse to have your family separated from you. I think we kept the cell lines busy. Finally about 10 there was a break in the tornadic activity and I was able to get home. We had just dozed off, when our weather radio went off again and we had to go back to the basement. I am not sure anyone in SW MO had more than a couple of hours of sleep.
If you ask Jared what happened he will tell you to watch out for the tomatos. He thought Tomatos were attacking. I think we have watched too many Veggie Tales.
The weather has calmed down but now it is cold like January is supposed to be.

Hey Kerrie--we had "company" in bed with us most of the night Mon/Tues. Trevor doesn't like the storms...Cody, on the other hand, slept through the WHOLE thing! We had some rough storms and lost power for a few hours early Tues morning but thankfully missed out on the "tomatoes". :-) Glad to hear you're ok!
