Well, last night was a doozy! We are safe and our community was spared, but there was destruction and death just up the road in Castalian Springs, the next burg east of Gallatin.
We kept a close watch on the weather. I am very thankful for the technology that tells us when tornadoes are coming our way. We called Natalie to ask that she come over to spend the night with us, rather than in her 3rd floor apartment. This request went against her attempts to remain independent. She reluctantly complied, then napped through the worst of it. We spent 10 minutes or so in our center hallway, as the storm passed. Since we don't have a basement and our bathrooms are on the end of the house, we decided the hall was probably the best bet.
Zach spent much of the evening on the phone talking to his friends in Jackson. He has many buds at Union, both on staff, in school, or working in town. One of the dorms destroyed was where he lived in '01 when a tornado hit before. So he's tired today, after all the communicating and deciding to assume the role of our family's emergency management officer!
Other than that, all is well. David is enjoying Sumner County schools being off today. Natalie made it through her root canal event just fine.
I'm glad to be safe and sound, and not picking through rubble, as many are today! Please pray for those folks who lost everything and for the families who lost loved ones.
Later!
