Ahh, spring in the Midwest! It starts with the green shoots of daffodils popping up through the ground. Next is the grass greening, tulips, and buds on the trees, followed by full-on leafy trees, irises, and warm days.
And then? It's tornado season, of course!
There have been numerous thunderstorms in the past few weeks, several of them severe. We've had hail. We've had flooding. And we've had tornado watches, tornado warnings, tornados touching down, some of them causing death and destruction.
Today, in southwest Missouri, we had more than one thunderstorm move through the area, followed by a tornado warning that came on very quickly. We were safe, but it was darn close!
Can you BE a lot more thankful than when just missed by a tornado?
It's sure a terrific way to start a thankful list, isn't it? What have YOU got on YOUR list? Write them, link them, and enjoy the Ten Things of Thankful weekend blog hop!
We used to not have too many tornadoes, if any at all. Growing up I do not ever remember a single one, ever, even after hurricanes. Now they are starting to become more common here, and it is scary. I'm glad you are safe.
