This tree went down just outside of Corinne's window. The upstairs apartments were damaged, but ours didn't get touched. This was the storm Tuesday night/Wednesday morning. They said this was caused by a small tornado. We heard the tornado alarms go off and turned on the news, when it started to reach Birmingham, we got Corinne up and all hid in the bathroom. It was a little scary. The power shut off and we heard loud wind noises and crashes but it was over quickly. I didn't expect this one because they said we would have tornadoes Wednesday night...which we did, but this one, the night before, effected us more. We are so grateful for your calls, texts, concerns and prayers. We are so blessed to be safe and still have a home. We were without power for a few days and all of our food went bad, but that was it for us. (You can click on the pictures to make them bigger).
This is our apartment looking toward the back. When we got up in the morning there was debris everywhere.
We had a hard time finding a way out to the main road as trees were down everywhere...just to be clear, this was the storm before the big tornadoes- those hit that night.
Here we are at Don's parent's house waiting for the big tornadoes to hit. This is a room under their basement. We felt pretty safe.
Corinne is taking her job as big sister very seriously. She is very good to Kaitlin and so far no problems. (knock on wood) She loves her so much and it's so cute to watch her talk to Kaitlin and take care of her. I love it.
