Where were you when the storm hit?

Cams playing nicely in the sand, notice the beautiful blue skies!
Paul enjoying the sun, again notice the skies!
An hour later!Notice the dark blue-black skies

That seems to be the question when I got back to work today!! People were pretty surprised to hear me say-the beach!! The weather was great until around 3, 3:30pm then I noticed the sky getting a little darker! Being the alarmist I am,when there's bad weather a-comin', I am a-runnin'. So the life guard walks up to me (of course!) and tells me that there's a Severe Thunderstorm Warning and a Tornado Warning for Illinois. Great, just where we are headed! So Cams and I start bookin' for the car while Paul and Leah slowly meander their way! Dana calls me crying that there's sirens in Lansing and they are making all the kids at school line up in the hallways! And her phone goes dead!!! Again Great!! I am bawling and the kids are silently freaking out in the backseat~Cam suggested praying, why didn't I think of that? Anyhow, we made it home with only heavy rain and none of the high winds that blew thru-I was actually surprised when we got home and saw the damage in the neighborhood! God listened to Cameron's little voice!!
