Tornado Time

We're back on a tornado watch. My sister Pat called me to tell me my niece (her daughter) Mindy had seen it on the Weather Channel. We didn't have the TV on, but flipped it on and sure enough ....

We had had tornado warnings earlier. I had worked late and had to spend part of the evening in the HQ basement, along with a lot of our new missionaries, who were in for new missionary orientation. I snuck out with Africa Field Director Mike McClaflin before the 7 pm expiration of the warning. ("Warning" means tornado(s) sighted; "watch" means conditions are right.)

We had some touch down north of town. A barn, a house, and some other structures were wiped out.
