Lillian, Texas, two miles south of Bur-
leson, had a number of homes damaged by
high winds. Most residents say it was
a tornado. Weather service personnel
are determining if it was a tornado or
not. To me, the sky was sure saying it
was!!


Poem Artwork



Last night, we were hit by waves of severe thunderstorms.
Our area was next on the bad weather invoice.
It all came rolling in at around five o'clock.
The town south of here heard the lion's tornado voice.

Seventy plus homes were damaged or even destroyed!
It happened so quickly, there was little time to warn.
The area struck is TWO MILES south of my place.
Thank God, no deaths or major injuries from this storm.

The skies were the ANGRIEST I had ever seen them.
Black clouds were chasing each other in an all-out war.
Lightning sizzled down in a search and destroy mission.
I was terrified, I thought that we were all done-for.

Today is nice, but more severe weather's on the way.
Most of it will be to the north, we may get our share.
It's supposed to continue off and on through the week.
During this stormy time, will you keep us in your prayers?

A tornado is not something I have ever witnessed, but I would imagine it must be a terrifying thing.

You bet I will keep you and your sister in my prayers. Going by the photo you were very lucky as it did not fill out totally. Going by the above mass it could of been worst. Glad to know your okay.

That is a powerful picture, Karla, as is your poem!
So many homes, that is truly so sad, but I am happy to know that there were no major injuries or deaths due to this horrid storm.

Holding you and Karen tight in prayer...
Thinking of you

Hugs

Will keep you in our prayers, Karla.

And it truly amazes me that with 70+ homes damaged, they still can't decide if it was a tornado or not? Maybe our technology is not what some think it is.

I thought Tornado season was after august?
I saw a funnel when on Dyess.

Very discriptive, know you're in my prayers.

Keep a mind of peace..

Great write. I wonder if the people who lost property and possessions care if it was actually a tornado or not. Loss is a loss. On the other hand, I'd expect the bureaucrats or weather service personnel to be interested in the cause (at times above the needs of the victim). Enjoyed.
