Laurie, so glad you're ok. That had to be very frightening! I've only been close to a tornado a few times in my life, and one time was when I was in my little Dodge Omni, driving back to Clemson after an interview in Laurinburg, NC (a long way). The car only had an AM radio and the emergecy broadcast system came on talking about a tornado being spotted in Newberry County, several of them, as a matter of fact. I looked up and guess where I was.....Newberry County, in the middle of nowhere. I made my plans about putting my car in a ditch if I saw it. Thank goodness I didn't, but I have obviously never forgotten the fear I felt that day. It was almost 20 years ago, but I can remember it like it was yesterday. So I felt it all over again when I read your post. Thank goodness neither of us had to find out what it was like. Whew!

Have a good, restful weekend.
