We have lived to tell about it!  I am still traumatized over the storm.  I went into town (about 30 miles a way) to buy groceries, etc.  We were there quite a few hours.  The weather looked nice when we left that morning.   After leaving the Wal-Mart we had to get animal foods at the Tractor Supply.  That is where we heard the first of the horrible storm approaching.  The cashier told us it was southwest of where we lived.  We got gas and there we heard the storm had tornadoes associated with it.  We are new to Texas and this weather thing.  In Vegas the only weather issue is heat.  Out here in Texas it is so unpredictable.  Anyway, we started heading back home.  It looked scary and dark, but it was pretty calm so we continued home.  After all what else did we have to do but drive home.  (I had $800 worth of food and stuff in the van that would spoil)  We were fine for the first 20 miles.  Then it looked as if the black sky was sitting on the area where my house is.  We reached our small town and still had 5 miles to go.  That is when the storm hit us straight in the face.  I have never been in a storm like that before.  I definitely had never driven in a rain that overwhelmed the vehicle and made it impossible to even see your hood.  I kept driving trying to keep my van on the road.  (it is a 15 passenger van)  The wind was blowing it all over the road way.  The kids were frightened.  We were all praying.  I just kept driving, straddling the shoulder, using the white line as a guide when I could see it.  Finally we saw our mailbox and turned into the drive.  I have never felt happier to be home.  My husband was just leaving to come and find us and help lead us home.  It was so scary.  I wish there was a way to convey the feelings I had.  Praise God we made it home safely.

I am in a little town.  It is between Abilene and Fort Worth south of I20. We are in Eastland county.
