We Were in the Way

Tornado...Thursday afternoon
Opened the front door to this...

We were very lucky, although there is serious structural damage to the house.  More pictures on Bayou Quilts.

I'm so sorry Jenclair. :/ Although like Kelly, I'm glad you weren't injured.

Nicola said...

Oh my goodness! Thank God no one was hurt!

Marg said...

Oh my goodness that must have been very scary. Glad you are all okay,although it sounds like some stressful times coming up while you get it all sorted out. Thinking of you.

That's one of the things I don't miss about living back East: tornadoes. I hate those things. I'm so glad you're okay, and I certainly hope you don't have a major headache ahead of you in repairing all the damage.

That's absolutely insane. I am glad that you and yours are safe and sound.

Lexi said...

That poor tree and your poor beautiful house! Glad to hear you are okay, though.

Jenny said...

I'm so sorry - what a rubbish thing to have happen. I had heard about these vaguely but I didn't know they were up your way. I'm happy you and your family are okay!

Danielle said...

So sorry to see this. I saw some of the destruction on the news--it's awful. We dealt with something similar (though very high winds rather than tornadoes) the summer before this past. I love our trees, but they can do a lot of damage in a bad storm. Good luck getting things cleaned up! And glad you and your family are safe!!

good to hear you are ok.. so sorry for what you will be put thru from it all. I hope things work out better than anticipated

Thanks to all of you for your concern! Clean up is ongoing, and we are fine. Problems are now arising for many more people because of over-topping of levees and levee breaches. We've had over 20 inches of rain this month and probably half of it from this storm. Neighborhoods that escaped damage from the tornado are now facing flooding. Fortunately, the water in our area receded quickly.

Wow, that's scary stuff, Jenclair. All we got in Houston from those weather systems was several inches of rain spread over two days. Glad to see that y'all are OK. Those things really spook me.
