Well, unless you are living under a rock, I’m sure you heard about the horrific weather the US has been having as of late. I had a meeting with them last Sunday. As of that morning, the meteorologists were telling us to pretty much put our heads between our legs and kiss our butts goodbye. My area was in a high level for severe weather and it was looking like Mother Nature forgot to take her Zoloft. Then it finally came time for the thunderstorm from Hell. Which is exactly what it wasn’t. Other than a couple of lightning flashes and thunder that made me jump and say things I won’t repeat, it was pretty calm. However, when it left my area, the storm cloud became very angry and showed other towns about 90 minutes away from me just what it was made of. EF4 tornado ripped through Mayflower and Villonia, pretty much destroying the entire towns and killing about 15 people. And now I am dealing with a strange form of survivor’s guilt. It was just a petty storm over my area but when it left? Oh my LORD! Just awful. Truly awful. And the tornadoes didn’t stop there. So many states are dealing with the devastation of the beginning of the week. So thoughts and prayers go out to those affected. I am truly sorry for your loss. But we Arkansans are resilient if nothing else. We will find a way to come out on top. That’s just how we roll.
