more footage and details coming out from all the tornadoes in our area. and i'm just, i cannot describe the relief i'm feeling. these were tornadoes that were only ten or twenty minutes away from us etc. like it really is just luck that we weren't hit. someone we know no longer has a roof on their house, they're still missing pets. a family friend's neighbor no longer has a barn but thankfully they didn't loose any of their horses. our friend had to help look for them in the middle of the night. another place we know had multiple buildings knocked over. and we're still waiting to see how high the death toll will rise in our area. this isn't the first time we've had tornadoes from hurricanes (thank you to my mom for reminding me that we survived one when i was kid which i apparently blocked out ghfdjsk) but it is the first time we are super aware of it bc of social media, better reporting, etc etc.
