>first round of storms, all three sirens were blarring and tornadoes
>were in Nesbit and Senatobia (our neighbor towns), I texted Joe I Love
>You just in case. Sat in the hallway in front of the ferret room and
>prayed. Few minutes later, it went dark. Other neighbors tree fell on
>truck and one of our border trees fell on power line to the house and
>transformer. We are without power yet again. We had two hours where we
>were literally surrounded by tornadoes that night. But straight-line
>winds and lightning got us. Trees are down everywhere but folks are
>working hard to clear it up. On Wednesday, we got several rounds of
>tstorms and tornadoes. Wind shears of 70mph took a good part of our
>roof off. And with the rain, its a real mess here. Memphis was spared
>but many towns and counties here in MS got hammered and many have
>suffered much. I am here for a few days...taking a few days off to get
>situated. The fuzzies are really unhappy. They have sufferd with us.
>Its a bit noisy and uncomfortable right now. But we have to stay here.
