Tornados....

Yesterday was interesting to say the least.

Greg preg checked some cows in the morning. While he was gone I decided to do some cleaning which ended up in me rearranging the living room. Anyway - Mulhall (a little town south of us about 4 miles) was have their Wild West Days. We decided to go down there and watch the turtle races. We headed back home and ate some lunch and were watching a nature show when a tornado warning came across the TV for Kingfisher Co which is west of us. Then the national weather guy comes on and says a tornado is on the ground at Hennessey, a town directly west of where we live about 30 miles. Needless to say, we switched channels pretty quickly.

About the time we switched over, we saw the tornado hit a Seaboard hog farm. (The news channels have helicoptors flying around shooting footage of this.) This was around 2:30ish. We kept watching the storm. Our neighbor Carla called and asked if we were coming over to get in their shelter. So we went over to her house. We live right on the highway and there were TONS of morons watching this front move through. Greg took pictures of about 4 tornados that were within 5 miles of our house. Luckily, none came our way and we didn't have to take shelter. It was the freakiest thing to watch the clouds. I'll post pictures on Tuesday hopefully. But anyway, we are ok and this is the closest we have been to being near a tornado. We are very thankful this storm moved through during the day.

Have a great holiday weekend!
