A twister...A twister!

We came home from a trip last night to the aftermath of a Tornado in our neighborhood!  What???  It was insane!  We got a call on the road from the Gomez's with the scoop, so we when drove in we had to drive around to see the mess!  It was crazy!  Trees down, our mall shut down,  houses with siding gone, trampolines and swing sets EVERYWHERE!  It was so eerie!  Dan's car was outside and the hail had a party all over it!  Our neighbor told us we were lucky because his trampoline would have gone through our house, but it got stuck and was dangling on his gutter!  Phew...that was a close call!  The Warnick's took this twister picture during Sacrament Meeting at our church!  Nuts I tell ya...



The trees in our neighborhood down and out!
Anyone missing a swing set a tarp?  Cuz we found it, around our tree!

That is some serious Hail!

Between the Hail and the Helicopters...we were freakin out!

Yea, we were smart enough to run out of church and drive TOWARDS the storm to our house as we had left our windows open. then we discovered our trampoline was no longer in our backyard. Instead it was wrapped around and thru the railing of our neighbors deck 2 houses away. Lovely. Our little car took a beating too, but you know what, we are all safe! That's what matters!

I can't get over the hail. Looks like it could knock you right out.
