I'll admit, growing up around here, I don't always take severe weather as seriously as I should. I've been through major hurricanes, tornadoes, and once lost power for two weeks during an ice storm (we showered at the gym).
So, when I heard that thunderstorms were being predicted for this past Saturday, my only real concern was how much it would affect the church Easter Egg Hunt.
I was volunteering, so I got to the egg hunt early. We had a bouncy house set up, tents for candy, food, and hid eggs everywhere outside. Our contigency plan was that, if it rained, we'd just move inside.
The sky darkened, but there wasn't any rain, so we were go. We had our first group of egg hunters, no problem. Then the wind started to pick up.
