Amen to God letting us know it. Everytime the weather gets bad I'm usually in the thick of the forefront where it is about to hit. About 15 years ago I was emptying the dishwasher and my husband was watching TV when all of a sudden the lights went out. Everything was PITCH BLACK. This was on a Sunday night. My husband worked days and I worked nights so when he left for work, he called home to tell me to leave early and take a detour to the Interstate. He said he just found out what the loss of our electric was about. It took out a huge Baptist Church (scattered in road) about 3 miles from us, took out the top floor of a 4 apartment complex that my newly wed niece and her husband was living in top floor. Her husband pushed her down the stairs to the bottom apartment where a neighbor lived. Bottom of complex was cinder block, top floor was wood and siding.
Large branch went through my nieces drivers side window and angled through the windshield. Then another duplex was taken off it's foundation. Another house that my kids wanted me to buy a few years before was totally destroyed. Nothing left but the foundation.
Anyway, the husband and I never knew anything. It didn't rain or anything else from where we are. However 2 days later, hail the size of golf balls fell and took out every window in my front of house. All I could think of was a friend at work said that the 2 nights earlier, her and her husband watched the tornado come across their back yard but the Hail got there first. So now I associate Hail with Tornadoes.
Sorry this is long. God bless and stay safe. I have a feeling the worse is yet to come before we get to the Best.
