Ohoh Tornado

Hi

Post from Missouri once again. Yesterday afternoon we were sitting behind the computer (joey and me) when an exited Kelsey runned into the room: Dad just called, there's a Tornado heading towards our house!! There was a Tornado warning and we all needed to go downstairs to the basement. There was no tornado on the ground yet, but there was a chance. So all of went to the basement, except for Joey and Jim (who had come home when he saw the weatherwarning) but we could come out after a few minutes. There was no direct danger anymore. Kelsey was really freaked out while the rest of us were all very calm and just did what we had to do. She can't help it she's always like that when the weather is bad. I must say it was kind of exiting and when we went outside, later on, we could see the clouds twisting for a bit which was really need to see. But no real danger, nor real Tornado's. We sayed on the balkony for a while to take pictures and make movies of the approaching Thunderstorm until it started to rain. It rained so hard that you sometimes couldn't see the trees on the other side of the field. And there were huge hails, the size of a dime and sometimes even bigger.
We played on Jake and Joey's Wii for a while, had dinner and went to the meeting.
Tonight we had the memorial of an od sister who died last weekend. She was born in 1918 and the oldest of her congregation. She had no family nor children and the congregation was the only family she had. The brother did a good job, he can be proud of himself.

Goodnight!
love merel

Hoi Merel,
Wat leuk om op deze manier een indruk te krijgen wat je zoal beleeft! Gelukkig viel het weer mee, wat een belevenis.
Zo te zien ben je helemaal ingeburgerd daar in de gemeente.
Leuk voor je.

Veel liefs en groetjes,
Wilfred en Pauline en the kids
