Well, it is a good thing that we did not have any more eventful mornings this week. I have had a hard time recovering from my early morning jolt out of the bed. My husband was saying the other day that on Wednesday that there were 91 reported tornadoes in that one day. Everybody talks about how rare winter tornadoes are but they really are not as rare as one would think. Check out the information here regarding tornadoes between 1950 and 2004. It was a record breaking day for number of Tornadoes reported. The tornadoes that hit Jackson and Lawrence Counties were thought to be EF4. The number of reported tornadoes has gone up again on this site it is now at 103 in a single day.

Wow this morning was eventful here at my house. I was awakened around 3:15 am to the weather radio screaming in my ear. That alarm only has two settings either you can not hear it or it screams at you. After nearly killing myself to get out of the bed I realized we were under a tornado warning. So I woke the hubby and amazingly he got up quickly for him. Anyway, we sat in the living room watching the weather to see where the storm was headed. I finally went back to sleep. Lucky for us it passed just south of us. When I say lucky for us it was literally less than 10 miles away from us which is too close for comfort for me. My husband went outside to smoke around the time the storm was in our area. He said he could see something going on south of us but was not sure what it was. Well I knew that was bound to happen. As I was typing this my mother in law called to see if we were okay. She was worried about us.
