Our first Tornado!

Tonight, Steven wanted to go for a ride after dinner. We walked out front and heard a unique siren. The wind was blowing and I looked up in the sky and saw a tornado...a real, live tornado!

I came back in the house and told the family to come outside and check it out! We tried taking pictures, but they were too dark to see anything!

As the wind picked up, we saw our neighbor's tree blow into their driveway and decided we should go into the house. We peeked into the backyard and saw that we lost a tree--it fell into the fence and onto the shed! Here are a pictures of our backyard!

We came back in and got the news on--just in time to hear "a tornado confirmed in Flower Mound."
Megan is a bit freaked out. Danielle is very excited she was here for it. Steven it tapping away and wondering why we aren't going for a ride. Troy and I are posting to the internet! Another first for the Gilchrist Family!

  1. Kind of exciting but be careful! I remember those from Ohio. Don't you have a basement to go into? I understand Megan being freaked out, I think Dora still runs to the basement everytime there are tornado warnings in Ohio.
    Be safe yaw'll...Jeri
