One dark and stormy night....

Last night was a night of extreme weather conditions! There was a tornado spotted in Shelby County, and lots of people lost power and suffered storm damage. While we had neither, thankfully, my parents weren't so lucky. Their house did not suffer any damage, which is a huge blessing! Their driveway and yard...not so much! Here are some pictures my mom put on facebook this morning...

Dad and some of the neighbors assessing the damage

View from the street. Their driveway is somewhere in there...

Tree across the driveway

My dad is a little under 6 foot, so you can see how big this tree was!

More tree roots

No getting out of this driveway! Both of my sisters had to drive across the field in order to get out and go to school and work this morning.

Their mailbox is in the right middle of this picture. You can see the red flag if you look really closely.

Another view of one of the trees blocking the driveway

This all fell in the yard.

Twisted and snapped by the wind!

More damage....

While it will be a huge pain to get all of this cleaned up, we are all so thankful that it was only trees and not people! God was watching out for my family last night!
