Tornadoes

I don't really like tornadoes. I don't know anybody that does. They have to be one of the most dangerous storms of human nature. You have probably heard about the tornado that came out of nowhere and destroyed a mobile home park.

I have a tornado story for you. I've been told this by my mom because I don't have much memory of it. When I was about 2 we were living in a trailer next to my mom's parents. There was a tornado warning and we got ready to go to my grandparents' house next door. Well, when we got ready to leave my dad said he needed to go put the tea back in the fridge (we had just eaten). Well, he went to put the tea up and about that time we hear what sounds like a loud train right outside. My mom said it was so loud I was screaming and she couldn't hear me. Anyway, after it was over, we went outside and saw the whole area around our house destroyed. Trees were down in the front and back yard. We believe the tornado jumped right over our trailor.

Thankfully, God was watching out for us that night and protected us. I've heard several stories of miracles. From people feeling a hand keep them in a car when they don't have a seat belt on to people seeing a shadow of a cross in a pool and dedicating their life to Christ without jumping in, to discover moments later if they had jumped in they would have died b/c the pool was drained for cleaning. Traci said down by Ravenel a truck crashed one day and this man came out of nowhere to help the teachers pull the guy out. When they looked for the man, he was gone. Miracles happen everyday and we just aren't aware of them.

"Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil. For you are with me."
