A little tornado story for you...I had a friend whose mother was up late reading a Guideposts mag. She read about praying the blood of Jesus over your family, for protection. She walked down the hall doing that over each person, and about 2 minutes later a tornado struck their house (no warning, no sirens). I've seen pictures--2 walls left standing. Amazingly, not one of them was hurt (at all!) Prayer works.
Saw some damage on the way home and a large portion of the area is without power. Hit the roads where most trucks cannot tread and circled around the backside of the storm, keeping about 40 miles between us and the storm. Finally got the 4x4 dirty, but then hit an area of flooding to wash all the mud away.
