Spring storms yet again

Spring has definitely come to the state of Texas. For the past month we have been having storms once a week, usually on a Tuesday. For us in The Colony we have been fortunate in that the worse we have gotten was lots of rain and lightening. Others in the area have gotten tornados and flooding. This evening was not much different with the exception that we actually had tornado sirens going off in our area. We had a friend of ours from our church over for a visit and first we had to power go off. Then I was standing at the back door listening and could hear the sirens. At first Mike thought that it was a police siren, but then it got louder and we realized that we had to move to the hallway. We had candles lit in the living room and we just sat and talked for about 5 minutes or so, then Mike opened the front door and the sirens were off. We got power back about half an hour later. We were lucky there also. Just down the street from where we live, the power had not been restored as of about 9 pm. I will be curious to see if any of the other cities got tornados. I know some areas had a lot of flooding. This will help the drought immensely.
