I can't even begin to imagine how scared you must all have been. <br /><br />It's so sad that so many places from your childhood have been lost, but at least you're still here with those memories. I take it your kids weren't with you. Thank God for that - if they're anything like what i was when i was little, they'd be scarred for life!<br /><br />And that video in the link made me very grateful that I don't live in an area that gets hit by tornados.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01567884062638788962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2732988644864592247.post-3858726717584072282011-05-03T11:19:30.848+08:002011-05-03T11:19:30.848+08:00Melanie, so glad you and your family are ok!Melanie, so glad you and your family are ok!Annoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2732988644864592247.post-56271148949303679782011-05-03T08:16:59.569+08:002011-05-03T08:16:59.569+08:00Pat we cannot die together, otherwise how are you ...Pat we cannot die together, otherwise how are you going to clean my hard drive for me? <br /><br />Thanks Haley, Barb and Lynn for the kind words.Melanie Gaohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17288533681881691687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2732988644864592247.post-79376721923462137562011-05-03T06:50:51.754+08:002011-05-03T06:50:51.754+08:00Thank you for sharing your story, Melanie.

All I could do was pray you would be ok. I don't think I took a breath until you called to say it had passed an you were fine. I think I would have rather been under that mattress with you, than being so helpless so far away.pat hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00927491786367516172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2732988644864592247.post-61483268179425855412011-05-02T06:24:56.185+08:002011-05-02T06:24:56.185+08:00Thank you Only Human and Sin-Yaw.
