We’re Fine!

I just wanted to pop in here quickly and let you all know that we’re fine. I had told you that we were going camping today and that was what we intended, but our family talked us into staying home until tomorrow because of predicted storms. It was a good thing we stayed home because there was a tornado right over the campground we were supposed to be staying at. There were also 105 mph straight line winds about 7 miles north of our house. It’s been a wild and crazy ride tonight but we are doing well. We had lots of heavy rain and wind, but I don’t think we had any damage, although it’s dark and it’s hard to tell. And we have power! That is a good thing. We still plan to go tomorrow and take the camper to that same campground and hopefully, it will be all fine there also.

This was the biggest storm that Zoey has been through. She did great! There was a huge clap of thunder right over our house that woke her up and she barked at it! She was going to take that thunder on! Chloe was always terrified of thunderstorms, so it’s kind of nice to have a dog that sleeps right through them. 

I did try to take some photos, but none of them turned out because it was raining and hailing so hard and it was so dark. I was also supposed to be in our tornado shelter at the time, so I thought I better get back downstairs.😏

Thank you so much for caring. I’ve had several messages from some you wondering if we were OK.

Lots of love and many blessings,
Betsy

  2. Whoa....what a scary adventure you had! Glad to hear you are okay. I saw a huge tree come down the other morning out back for no reason at all. It just fell over. These are crazy times.

  3. I'm glad you stayed home and are safe. We've had rainy weather lately with some hail showers. When I was in Molalla for my dental appt, there was alot of snow on the lower hills, a bit of wind. We might get snow tomorrow. Will see what happens. Hugs and blessings!

  17. Always late checking in. I hadn't heard about the storms. So glad you cancelled the camping trip. The good Lord was looking after you. I love the verse. Little Zoey barking at the thunder. That's so cute. Melba

  18. So glad you are alright. We've had some doozies also but so far so good. There's more on the way but I love a good storm as long as no one gets hurt or property damaged.
    So glad you stayed home! I've never had dogs afraid of storms...very lucky I guess. Stay safe!
