Today we left Weatherford, Texas at 5:00 am. We traveled for 11 hours. It rained for the entire time, not little sprinkles, but monsoon type rain the entire time.
We drove in Texas, Arkansas and Tennessee. It didn't rain cats and dogs, but buffalo and moose. I am not sure how Uncle Bill and Baba managed. I think all of us were nervous wrecks when we pull into the campground in Memphis, Tennessee.
When we arrived in Memphis we heard sirens which we thought were police at first, but it turned out they were tornado sirens. They continued to blast for at least 2 hours. There were 7 tornadoes sighted. At least two touched down right in the county where we camped. One took the front off a Kohl's store, picked up cars, smashed out car windows, blew down electrical wires, and trees.
We were very thankful that we got through unscathed. Lots of prayers were said.
