Preliminary tornado count for May 15, 2013: SIXTEEN.

' ... I hate this time of year. ...'

Lord, keep us safe. AMEN. :(

Poem Artwork

No damage here from the tornado
outbreak, at least, not physically --
nerves, however, are shot. It was

scary, watching huge supercells
march their way toward us and
hearing tornado sirens screaming

their warnings: !!IT'S COMING FOR
YOU!! Reports of mile wide wedges
and learning whole neighborhoods

were erased where your friends live
-- were they one of the six killed? 
Lost my roof in one of these things

years ago and the memories come
rushing back as loud as the wind
outside. And no basements in my

part of The Alley. When skies go
black I turn a deeper shade of
chicken and shelter at the local

hospital. More walls between me
and it, you know. Hate this time of
year: post traumatic storm disorder.

In the larger scheme of things, tornadoes maim and kill very few, Like winning the unlucky lottery, although the property destruction can be immense. If I lived where you live, I would have a root cellar for keeping vegetables and make it available during storms.

It's okay to be scared, Karla; it doesn't mean that you're a failure .. and you are NOT! You have a legitimate excuse: you've already lost your roof to a weak tornado (EF 0); once the roof goes, strength does NOT matter! Excellent portrayal of your (OUR) StormFear; well done!

(((HUGS)), prayers, and much love, your twin, Karen Lynn. :(

Glad you're OK, Karla. God's not ready for you just yet. He has more things in store for you to do for Him. Keep the faith and God bless.
