Tornadoes

We're still here. Although we spent most of the night watching the storm tracks, and there were numerous touchdowns in the area, as well as a spectacular fire, our neighborhood was untouched except for the usual downed branches.

Tornadoes are strange beasts. They cause such random, selective devastation. In one block you can have houses that are completely demolished and then houses that are completely untouched. You just never know and there really aren't any protective measure you can take.

I have included a picture of the kids sleeping in the hallway/closet, which is our only truly interior room.
