STORMS

We had tornadoes in MO. Night before last. At least 10 people died and many homes and business were destroyed. The power of the wind is a mighty thing. My grandparents home was blown away in the 1920s in Carroll co. AR. They spent that winter living in a chicken house. Grandma Powell said the cracks in the walls were so large that she would have to shake the snow from their bedding in the morning,daddy said that the wind blew their turkeys away and a week later they came walking home. Grandpa Powell told me he saw a basket of eggs blown into the yard, not a egg was broke. A piece of straw was blown thro a tree and one poor horse had a two by four drove thro his neck. Green forest AR. Was completely destroyed and had to be rebuilt again, I have never feared storms because daddy told us there was no reason to fear because what ever will be, will be. My husband was deathly afraid of a storm, Everytime clouds would start to brew in the north west. One hot July day when a storm was forming I was standing on the porch in the cool wind and watching the rolling clouds. My husband said get into the house. What are you doing out there? I said I am watching the power of God. I could be blown away this spring but if I am I can say I have not lived my life in fear of what might be.
