    Thank goodness you & the babies are safe!
    Those kinds of storms scare me senseless. I used to lock my kitties and myself in the closet during the nasty storms when I lived in Houston.

    I hope your windows are repaired/replaced soon!

    I will miss you forever, my sweet Scooter Bug. You were my best friend. 9/21/1995 - 1/23/2010
    Goodbye, Oreo. Gone too soon. 4/2003 - 9/12/2011.
    Farewell & Godspeed, sweet Jadie Francine. You took a piece of my heart with you. 11/2002 - 8/8/2016

    Well, looks like I didn't get by as well as I thought. The insurance inspector says we need a new roof and furnace vent and they will paint 3 sides of my house for me. That should be interesting. My house is yellow and I don't remember what the shade was, plus it has aged. So one side is apt to be a different shade. Luckily, that will be one side that is close to another house so it won't matter as much.

    Our entire town took a pretty big hit. The fort lost some original windows from the 1800s. Several churches lost stained glass windows, Walmart lost part of its glass over head dome, the nursing home where my Dad used to be lost lots of windows in the patients rooms. I'm so glad he wan't there for that. Every house in town that has vinyl siding looks like swiss cheese now. Almost every house in town had some damage.

    Thankfully, I have two guys coming in a bit to board up my broken windows. It is going to be a while before they can be replaced from the looks of things. We have more storms coming later tonight and tomorrow. I was afraid the inside windows would get damaged if more hail hit them. I don't want my cats hurt or getting out for that matter.

    Bet my cats will be mad since they are gonna lose their two favorite 'look out' windows for a while. It can't be helped though.

    Wow, that's quite a storm you had! Glad you and the kitties are safe and dear Grandma slept through it all. And it's good that it's getting lighter, now that yo have to have your windows boarded up. Stay safe!

    Moff, I'm so sorry to hear this. I'm glad that you're all fine and that you'll be able to have your home repaired soon. Hopefully the other storms won't do any more damage. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent your way.

    Hi MoFF, What a relief it is to know that you and your kitties are all okay. I couldn't help but smile when you said that Grandma slept through the whole storm. Hopefully, the repairs to your house can be done without delay. If you need anything I'm only a pm away.

    Thank you that is so sweet of you. A few extra prayers might be in order. We are in for possibly more severe weather tomorrow and in the middle of the week. Maybe it will be a good thing if we don't get the repairs done until after the spring storm season is over.
