I'm still there.

I am sorry to dwell on Tuesday’s tornados but I am still so thankful that it wasn’t as bad as it could have been. We had angels all around us that night. This is an excerpt from a news station article that just shows how lucky we were:

Here in Middle Tennessee it was primarily one storm that did most of the major damage. On the time lapse, you will see this supercell start in Hardin County (it actually began in Mississippi) and move northeast through parts of Wayne, Perry, Lewis, Hickman, northwest Williamson (Fairview), Davidson, Sumner, Trousdale, and Macon before moving into Kentucky. The miracle is that the tornado lifted up over Nashville and Davidson County before setting down again in Sumner County. If that had not happened, hundreds more could have died or been injured. This was a terrible tragedy that could have been worse.

The one storm that did the most damage was the one we were at Opryland for. It makes you wonder; why were we spared? What ever the reason, I am thankful and praise God for it.A side note that I forgot to mention yesterday. When I got Abby out of bed Tuesday night to go over to the hotel, she told me that when she heard the thunder she prayed to God and asked Him to keep her safe. I love it

I'm so glad y'all were okay! We woke up about 7:00 to almost constant thunder and lightning and found out we were under a tornado warning too. I love the technology of the weather men though that allows us to see exactly where the storm is. Ava was already awake, but Abigail slept through the whole thing. We were glad we didn't have to wake her up. I know she would have been scared.
