music and a tornado!

Whew… what a night. I took Emelia to her honor choir concert at her school. I heard a noise that sounded like heavy rain or maybe … hail.

It was hail. So loud it was hard to hear the singing. A boy brought in a piece of hail the size of his palm.

They kept singing.

I texted Amanda and asked what the weather was doing.
She said, “tornado warning.”
I said “where?”
She said, “10th and Hiwassee.”
That is where the school is at. Exactly!

They are still singing.

Finally someone from the audience went to the front and told them the sirens were going off. They told all the students to find their parents and get in a hall. It was really frightening. We stayed in the hall until the storm passed. I called Matt and he said it was in our back yard. It actually did damage in the mile behind out house. What an experience!

This is the cloud after it passed the school.
