[NFB-Krafters-Korner] OT: Janesville tornado

[Ericka]

Amen! I am so grateful nobody was hurt. Life isn’t adventure I always say. Certainly not an adventure on my bucket list but what the heck do we get to choose? Not always! That just reminds us who is really in charge.

> Thank you, Mary Kay. I was riding in a car once when there was straight line wins. I lived in Kenosha then, about an hour or so north of Chicago just over the border between Wisconsin and Illinois. I seem to have a habit of living on the southside. Just sidenote. my ex-husband and I were going from the grocery store home and we dropped off a friend. As soon as we got three or four blocks of our residence, the car went side to side and he had a terrible time trying to get it to go straight. Thankfully, we did not have damage on our side of town but on the north side  150-year-old trees were uprooted right out of the ground. Church was in shambles. Sidewalk came up out of the ground. A college campus had a lot of tree destruction. Not the best memory but again I’ve been through it and it’s not my first choice. Certainly not on my bucket list!  I pray nobody else has to go through this stuff. And if they do they survive. My husband said that somebody crawled into the bathtub for safety and in the end the bathtub here in Janesville was all that was left besides the human that was alive. I’m glad I wasn’t in that tub!

>> Wisconsin had several tornadoes last night. Early evening. We hardly ever go to the basement but last night we did because there was a touchdown a mile away from our house. We are right by the state school For The Blind and I am grateful that the kids are gone for the weekend, and they don’t have any summer programs going on at the moment. That school is a block and a half from our house. We are OK and from what we can gather those that were closest to the tornado are OK as well. One blind friend of ours heard the tornado go over her house and then proceeded to take the roof off the people across the street.  I think she was wishing she was at that moment. Tornadoes are strange things. Hope everyone is safe in this heat and these wild winds all over. When I went to the basement, I took my dad with me. The cat my husband and the Knitting. You can see where the priorities are!
