The Manhattan tornado

Well. A lot has happened lately. I'm sitting here still in my cozy white bathrobe drinking my 3rd cup of green tea. Ahh. I needed a break from the craziness.

My husband has been going 110 percent lately. The workload has been enormous. 40 + calls a day...that was due to the softball size hail we were hammered with 2 weeks ago Monday. Not to mention before the tornado hit this week!

Other than the tornado and hail, the last 2 weeks have also included:
- Driving to WY as Allyn was an attendant in Genoa's wedding
- Allyn recovering from a concussion ~ Softball
- Attending Jake's wedding ~ fun day in OH!
- driving 12 hours home through the night ~ not so fun...!
- Helped our SS student's family move out of their destroyed home (pics below)

Needless to say, we're very grateful that there were no fatalities during the last couple storms. Below, are some pictures we took either helping friends or responding to emergency calls.

Our friend's house.
Macy the 7 year old daughter was in our SS class through the school year

The miracle was the everyone was safe in Manhattan after the tornado went through.
The picture above shows Macy's bedroom. All the girl's furniture was sucked out.
The family went to the basement 15 minutes before the storm hit.

Below is the 18 inch beam that when through their roof and into their master bedroom.
