Landry Survived Her First Tornado

It might have been Scout's and Toby's, too.....not sure.  If not, it was definitely the first and hopefully only one they will ever be in the middle of, literally.  We were driving home yesterday and we were about 1 hour West of Abilene.  We drove through a horrible rain storm and we were edging through the back end.  I looked over to my right and out of nowhere there was a funnel cloud on the ground, I freaked out as I was driving the darn suburban, which I hate driving anyway.  Brian had his eyes glued on the big rig that was on the other side of the highway that was jack knifed and it's trailer almost on its side headed straight for us.

We sat in park for a minute, then I put it in reverse  and drove backwards down the highway.  We sat there for a minute, then other cars started driving through on the other side so I punched it and we drove straight through the funnel cloud, it was crazy, debris flying everywhere.  Then Brian looked out the window an

d there was another HUGE funnel cloud to our right.  We didn't stick around to see it although, people were stopped outside of their trucks watching it....crazy West Texas people!!!!

Anyway, the boys and Brian all turned to watch it's path as I drove away.  I must say, it scared the you know what out of me.  I was saying Psal

m 23 the entire time, I truly thought we might die.

The end.

Here are pictures we took at Grandpa Charlie's (Brian's grandad) house.
