I had a similar experience as you. I'm in S.E. TN and tornadoes are our thing. I was five months pregnant back in 1974 when tornadoes hit TN and was at home taking a nap. Well, I was at my parent's-in-law’s. I was dreaming about a tornado hitting the neighborhood. Funny thing was that when I laid down for my nap the sun was shining. Anyway, in my dream I went to the basement and got under the stairs.
I woke up to find everything dark and storming. I saw something fly by the window and when I started to the kitchen I heard an awful noise that sounded like a train. I looked out the kitchen window in time to see the house behind ours explode. I immediately did what I did in my dream. I went to the basement and got under the stairs. I huddled down there for what seemed like forever and watched the two story colonial brick literally rock back and forth. It looked like the walls were breathing.
Was the dream a warning? Did it prepare me for what was coming? Yep. I feel to this day that the dream is what kept me from panicking and possibly hurting myself and my baby.
The Lord works in mysterious ways sometimes.
My Wife is the same way.
On the morning of the Japan quake, she awoke me and I immediently knew she was very upset. She said this was just the beginning.
We’ve been in *prepare* mode ever since.
Wow! What an awesome story!
