Tornado Alley

Yes, I know- three blogs in a day. I needed to catch up though.

Since about March 14th we've had a handful of tornadoes rip through here. We've been untouched so far. Tuesday night I got a call from Ryan saying I needed to rush home because there was a tornado warning. This is the stage after a "watch"... warnings aren't a real good sign. I had no idea what he was talking about either because it was bright and sunny here at work. So I buzzed home as fast and safely as I could and came home to DARK cloudy skies and wind, a grumpy baby, Ryan running around the house gathering up blankets, candles, cameras, things of value, etc. Ryan had an appointment with the Bishop that night for receiving the Melchizedek and it was inevitable we were going to miss it since the storm was making it's way right by our house. Me and Ben and Ally went and hung out in the guest bathroom bath tub since that bathroom has no outside walls. Delinda and Ryan were roaming the house and checking out what it was doing outside, which I thought was pretty unsafe. I have to say that one of the most unnerving things is to hear sirens going off in your neighborhood. Ryan got the picture above of the hail that started falling at one point. If you can't tell, it's about ping-pong ball sized (you can also see me in the background sitting on the edge of the tub). The storm passed and luckily we had no tornado hit us... just a lot of rain, hail and lightning. It was pretty scary though I wont lie. We even got make it to see the bishop AND the stake president after it blew over and are on our way to getting sealed soon!
