Preparing sustenance for the impending doom.





Our window boarded up. Funny thing - it's still boarded up and who knows when it will get fixed. But the other day I said to Dave - can't we just hang the nice curtains over the boards. Because I'm getting really tired of looking at the sheet we had up for a couple weeks. So that's what we did.



We had so many frozen water bottles. We used the freezer as a cooler and put some of the food in there with ice and frozen water bottles, but it didn't really work so well. Everything was getting very warm.



We have power!! We were so lucky to get power back so quick - we were only without power for a day and a half. On Sunday in church we were talking with people who had just gotten their power back in the last couple days. Most of them had generators though. But still a huge pain in the neck. Like our "couch?"





These pictures were taken right around our building. The above tree was in beween us and the laundry facilities.



The following picture is a building on our street. That was the most damage that we saw in our neighborhood. They thought a small twister might have touched down there or something because the damage was so much worse right there.





Back to our building.



The following tree pictures were taken as we were driving a little ways from our house. I just saw this exact tree in this exact position today.
