Weather Watch

I'm sure I have people wondering about me, wanting to make sure I'm okay. I hope this gets out to enough people to calm some nerves. A couple nights ago, about fourteen tornadoes went through areas of southern Kentucky. It's a nearly record number, and the casualties were the highest in over 50 years. The damage was all south of Lexington, so I was well out of harm's way, but I still had quite a bit of weather to deal with.

The thunderstorms were crazy. I've seen just a few powerful thunderstorms in Oregon -the kind that shake the window panes during a clap. Within a week, I've encountered two. The most recent was on Tuesday night, while the whole state was in a tornado alert. Unfortunately, the thunderstorm did result in the death of one of our broodmares, so it's hard to say that the farm didn't suffer much damage.

Despite challenging weather patterns that keep me on my toes, I still feel like this is exactly where God wants me to be. I'm so thankful for the friends and family who I know are praying for me and sending me encouragement and support. I may be off in a different state, but I still rely on everyone close to me! Take care... more to come soon...

Hey sis. Sounds like you had an exciting time. The t-storms are something we've missed about living down there.

When we were in Florida, I had to wait at school for about three hours once before I could drive home, because there was so much lighting hitting the flooded parking lot that no one could walk to their car.
