Boy, we had some excitement this week at our house! Sunday night, Dad watched the weather and said that we might have some bad storms come through, and sure enough, on Monday, a tornado hit during the morning.

Our friend Ms Regina was at home with her kids, her mother-in-law and their pups, when the tornado hit it. The house was torn up, but God must have had His hands on them, because no one was hurt, not even the pups.  Lots of other houses had trees fall on them, and it also messed up a lot of the stores up town.

The lights went out at all over town after that… so we sat in the living room with the windows up to stay cool. The rest of the day and that night, it would thunder and lightning – I don’t like that. It sounds scary. At first I thought I could scare it away by barking, but that didn’t work at all. When I kept barking, Scout got scared and got up under the chair. I guess she thought she’d be safer there.

The weathermen kept saying we would have another round of storms on Wednesday that would be worse, but it never got bad. Some people were fussing because the weathermen got it wrong, but someone said maybe we didn’t have any more bad weather because God answered our prayers. I think she’s right.

Lots of people here gave things to help Ms Regina and her family out – they’ve got plenty of clothes now, but they still need other stuff for when they get moved into their new home. If you’d like to donate, they have set up a Go Fund Me account. I know they’d be glad for the help!
