Allah be Praised

Whoa. Did we have a storm tonight. Thank god everyone is alright. My children were huddled in our half bath on the main (and lowest) level. The weather radio was going off like mad. There was a tornado definately to our north, and possibly to our west as well. Our front doors blew open, letting the storm blow like a rage into our house. I heard a couple of undefinable noises, and it seems we lost a tree limb, and it bounced off of our roof. We were lucky-- our subdivision still has power. It seems most places don't right now.

One stroke of genius: This is how I got my two year old to stay locked in the bathroom for over an hour: I gave him a cake- A CAKE- and a fork. Storms are coming again on Friday. Looks like I'll be baking tomorrow night!
