There was a tornado in my home town of Flagstaff, AZ at the beginning of the month. When I heard about this (from Ryan who was looking at an article posted on our news channel here in Georgia) I couldn't believe it! A tornado in Flag?

I kind of feel like a jerk for not saying something to you sooner! The main ones were in Bellmont and there were a ton of people who lost their homes. It was pretty devastating! It definitely shook us up. I need to blog about this. It's kind of a monumental thing! I'll post pictures. Have you seen any?
Yeah, it was pretty much the scariest thing ever. We're still thinking about it all time and probably will be until the neighborhood is all fixed. :/
I bet Sarah! Especially the story about Skler and the window! Def angels watching over you!
No worries Nichole! I just thought how weird it was that it happened THERE of all places!
