We dont have a lot of pictures of before the storm. We sat at the window watching the rain, then hail, then the hail get larger. Until it was huge. The pictures I took with my camera phone cant transfer for some reason into my picture hosting. So I wont be able to add those.
We didnt know there was a tornado. We dont have sirens. We just didnt even think about it.
This is the only picture I have from before.
This was taken right after the storm.
Neena holding one of many pieces of hail. Easily fills the inside of her hand.
Looks like it snowed.
Looking down the street.
Cloud in the distance.
You can see the farmhouse collapsed here.
Pieces missing from the house.
tree uprooted
more trees everywhere you looked
Another tornado warning goes out
I believe this may have been the cell that formed and struck Greeley.
Getting dark again. Time to go home again.
Going north to find my friend Christy who just had a baby a week ago. She was unreachable for hours.
Downed powerlines everywhere.
You can see Neena taking pictures in her fabulous pink and blue cast.
You can see the collapsed buildings far off.
Shocked people, some with windows missing.
Getting closer to my friends subdivision.
No words.........
Overturned trucks
Across the street from my friend subdivision.
Traffic trying to get in. They would only let those with ID in. Had to leave without being able to check on my friend. She did call later. They are missing all their windows and had the roof torn off their house and garage door is gone. But she was safely evacuated shortly after the tornado. All of her 5 kids and her are safe.
I will take some pictures later today of the damage to our house and the cars. Please pray that we have a good afternoon. They are predicting more storms today.
BEWARE and CAUTION: This is our life. Weird stories, funny things that happen or the kids say, and just our plain day to day life. You have been warned.....
You can see the collapsed buildings far off.
