I'M BACK! I just got a new battery for my laptop. It's been dead for quite some time, which required me to be near a power source. I haven't been on my computer much when I'm at home...there's always so many other things that need to be done.
We had some tornadoes blow though town on Thursday. Man those things are powerful. I was in my office which is on the 10th floor when the F2 came through downtown. It was pretty crazy to feel the building shake & sway a bit. We quickly made our way down through the stairwell to
safer ground, but by the time we made it to the ground floor it had all blown over. I snap the picture below of an apparent industrial size air conditioner cover that blew off the roof & landed in the street.
It took me more than 1.5 hours to make it home, usually a 25 minute drive. There were trees down everywhere, roofs ripped off houses, power lines in the middle of the road, fires, and power outages. I had the radio on during the drive and heard that the steeple of the church downtown was blown off from the tornado and landed on a car. I later learned that the person in the car (who is miraculously alive and recovering well) is a good friend of ours.
On Friday our office was closed. Lucky for me because our street was flooded (see photo below taken Friday afternoon). Had I tried to drive through it in my low-riding car, I surely would've ended up with water in my car.
Mother Nature is an amazing chick! This October was the wettest in recorded history in northwest Louisiana! I'm glad it's November and haven't seen a drop yet.
