We Survived a Tornado!

On Saturday evening, we had some storms roll through our area. While Shad and I were on a date night and were eating at a restaurant with some old college friends (a surprise birthday party for one friend we hadn't seen in 8 years), apparently the shopping complex next to us got hit by a EF-0 tornado (~90 mph winds)! Since (1) the window blinds were closed (the sun had been shining moments before) and (2) we never received a Tornado Warning (only a Severe T'storm Warning), we were completely oblivious until we left the restaurant after the fact! Very scary! Even scarier is that, had we not been with friends, we very well could've been at the movie theater in that complex! When we have a date night, we typically do dinner and a movie and are usually at the theater between 7:00 and 7:30, depending on the specific showtime! I'm so thankful that we had other plans that night!!

The whole time this was going on, Christopher was with Granddaddy at McDonald's...a little way down the street and out of harm's way.
