You won’t see the details on the TV news. Lots of other severe weather for meteorologist’ to report. At 11:47 PM, Saturday, April 18th, I was jolted awake as the trailer shook violently. The wind was “noisy”–and whipping the awning!! I was certain the awning would be torn off the trailer (seriously). It rained for a few brief minutes so I rushed out to the patio for the blankets and afghans. I was terrified; was it a tornado? It’s 12:15 as I type these words; we’ll survey the scene for damage in the morning. Eerie quiet right now!! (Lots of exclamation marks needed to emphasize the seriousness of the incident. I still have a “knot” of fear in my stomach. In fact, I am weeping with joy because my home, and I, were spared.)

Postscript, 7:00 AM, Sunday: Brief check, all OK. Lots of small tree limbs on the ground but no damage. Later, I want to walk the neighborhood. ~~ “More heavy rainfall later in the day” according to morning news weather-woman.

Postscript, 9:30 AM: Pictures of (1) windsock that blew away, and (2) a few of the downed tree limbs.

Confession: I still have that “knot” in my stomach, AND I have a lot of wet things cluttering my small living room floor (no room to walk). I’m questioning my sanity for choosing to “save” and store things for six months. These days, I question a lot of things I do!!
