Sorry ladies I haven't had a chance to catch up on everyone's spam but I would like to report that the first day back to work was a success! Emmett did great at his first full day of daycare, DH did great at drop off and pick up and I did ok being gone for 14hrs . I attribute the good day to text and picture messages of DS, I honestly don't know how people did it before those were options!
I'm so sorry misshart00 ! My mom's from Oklahoma and her entire family still lives there. My uncle's house in Moore was just declared a total loss after the last storm hit there. It's really crazy how powerful nature is. Sending good thoughts your way!
Yes. Everyone is okay. My stepmom actually has video of my dad saying "it's just a little wind." I think she'll hold thay over him for awhile.
The dogs are fine. The horses hung out by the house (they wouldn't dare leave their food). The chickens are missing but they tend to hide since they're chickens.
I hope they declare the house a total loss. It would be much easier since it would be a complete guy job otherwise. Insulation is everywhere. There's a ton of water. I soaked my shoes and jeans this morning.
Goodness. Glad the animals and humans are all good.
It could have been much worse and in all reality, it's just stuff. It can always be replaced.

Yep. My husband and I have all the pictures at our house now.
My dad is kind of funny though. He just got a new tractor and tiller. They are nowhere to be found and he's upset. I think it's just *something* to focus on when you don't know what to do.

So sorry to hear about this! Luckily everyone seems to be safe, hopefully the chickens also make an appearance soon. that's terrible to have to go through
Btw as for the tractor etc i think you're right. At least from a psych point of view the mind trends to focus on one conprehendable loss rather than the whole project. It's just too much otherwise, so the brain has a built in protection mechanism.

It is hard for me to put my mind around the power it takes to "lose" a tractor and tiller. Tornadoes are terrifying. I just can't imagine going through that.
misshart00 so sorry you and your family are have to deal with all of this. I was watching the weather and it seems like it is not getting any better for the next couple of days. Hope your family hangs in there through the weekend and everyone stays safe.
We have straight-line winds & hail right now. made a plan with DH that "go get the kids!" meant he runs to grab DS (older/heavier) and I get DD and meet in interior closet.

misshart00 my heart goes out to your family. I went through this a few years ago with my dad when all of those tornadoes ripped through the South. The cleanup process was tough to say the least. I will continue to keep you guys in my T&Ps.
