First Tornado AAAAAA

Ok so I knew that I would be having some very interesting blog posts but I did not think that it would be so soon to us moving down here, Saturday was wet but nothing to bad but then Sunday was dry and pretty all day. Sunday afternoon into the evening is when the weather began to change. We put the kids to bed and everything seemed to be ok. About 1230 I woke with a start for some reason and I tried to fall back asleep. Just as I was about to drift off that whent he lightening started up. I got up not wanting wake Steve or the kids I just sat watching the storm.I crawled back into bed at 145 watching the storm from bed, then the sirens went off, SCARED me to death, I was trying to stay calm but it was the most lightening I had ever seen in my life. I think I ran across the lving room to get Garett, I found him hiding under his blankets shaking like a scared puppy. The other two kids were a little more calm while we were expirencing it but once we can sit together and reflect my other 2 were scared too. The fear of the unknown the not being able to see what was going on out there didn't help, BUT there is a light at the end of the tunnel am getting education about what to expect.  I am told by everyone around us that once you expeirence your first one it does get easier. I am hoping that is the case. I also found out that a lot of people slept through the sirens and the storm. Life is sure interesting in the South.
