Storm Damage

I was too busy last month to get to the blog, but I wanted you to see my near miss.  Last month we had a day of severe storms and tornadoes.  The projected path shown on the television went right over my house.  Now you need to know that I am scared to death of tornadoes.  I have no fear of hurricanes, but a tornado will send me running for a closet.

I vigilantly watched the continuous weather coverage as the skies grew dark and the wind picked up.  Gracie, my hound, started howling and pacing.  I could not see the tree from the back window it was so dark.  Then I heard a huge crash.  I have been in tornadoes before, and I knew it wasn't a twister, but I wasn't about to go outside and check.

Thank God, the storm passed over, and when I went outside there was roofing material all over the yard.  I couldn't figure it out.  The house has a metal roof.  As I went around the house I finally figured out that the carport roof had peeled up in the wind.
