I just talked to my friend in Lafayette IN. She informed me that they are currently experiencing a major lightening storm and she is grabbing kids and heading for the basement. Her dear hubby is in CA looking for a job, so she is hone alone with two kids. Sounds like a long night in the basement for her and the kids.
Godspeed, friend.
I feel for your friend! I spent a long afternoon behind the water heater in the basement/garage of a home we were renting out on Jackson Hwy. in W. Lafayette back in 1981. Our only child at the time was about 1 1/2, and there was nothing down there but some croquet balls, and a couple of books I'd brought down to distract him. A tornado DID touch down that day, about 5 miles east of us, hitting a restaurant that had been destroyed a few years before by another tornado.
This is what we're in for tomorrow. Take good care!!!
