using rafts. Thursday night we were again under the severe weather warnings. I was up watching the coverage of the weather when the tornado sirens went off. It was raining heavily, very windy, and then the power went out. I kept in touch with my nephew who called me and told me to get downstairs and stay away from the doors and windows. Everything happened so fast. Within 15 minutes the tornado warnings were cancelled but we were still under a severe thunderstorm warning. Tornados did touch down, the closest to me just about 2 miles away. My development is fine. My power was restored in about 11 hours. There were a lot of downed trees where my sister lives not far from me. Her power was restored just yesterday evening. There are still some without power. Crews working in the area where my sister lives have come from Georgia and Alabama. There are also crews from Florida working in other areas.
So far there are 11 tornadoes that have been confirmed. Also there have been several small earthquakes that have been reported in my county.
Such a frightening couple of days.
Hoping all of you in the path of any storm stay safe.
