just your typical tornado test

Yesterday, a huge storm rolled in during the afternoon. I love storms because it is always so fresh afterwards. But, this time was more tornado-like than us Hensons prefer. Branches and "debris" were flying everywhere, and as I watched our back yard, praying that the trees would hold strong as they danced back and forth, suddenly there was hail! Yes, 80 degrees outside and hailing. Fortunately, the trees stayed put in our yard, but the branch (aka small log) in the picture above is an example of what was falling from the sky! Notice my grass in the back ground! Yay!

We are so thankful that nothing significant landed on our house, cars, or property. When we left the house later on, we noticed two houses down, the storm had managed to bring down half a tree! It fell right up against their house, but didn't break any windows! Wow!

Despite the numerous branches and bramble that need to be picked up on our lot, God merely rearranged a few things and completely protected us. For all of you that live in tornado or hurricane range --- better you than me.
