Weather Report

 

Sisters on the way out the door this morning at 10:45 a.m.



 

     The weather was not too severe here night before last, even though there was bad weather all around us. We had lots of lightning and did get 2" of rain, but thankfully no hail and no tornado. When the Sisters first came to our house I told them that Texas weather was nothing to mess with. I explained that if they were ever here and it looked green or dark (you can see it coming) that they should not be out and about....that if they were outside, they should get to a house or come home. I explained that an inside bathroom was the best place to be (no one around here has basements). I even showed them a short video clip that someone had taken nearby last year when it hailed. They were shocked that the hail could be so violent.

       So, the other night when it stormed outside, they were safe and sound in the house. They had gotten a text telling them to go home and they followed the rules right away. In fact, they said they were knocking on doors right before they got the text from the mission home and a few of the people told them the weather was bad and they should go home. I thought that was funny.

     We have weathered lots of hail and tornadoes here. I assured the Sisters that as long as they were following the rules that the Lord would protect them because they were doing His work. It always amazes me because even in the most horrible tornadoes the people who are sheltering in the bathrooms are almost always untouched.

     I should have posted something on the blog saying they were safe. I will keep that in mind the next time....and there is always a next time in Texas!
