Tornado

We've had the craziest, scariest weather the past couple weeks. AR is notorious for spring tornadoes, but I've never seen anything like this before. We've been hammered the last 3 days especially. There's been numerous tornados and flooding all around the state. We've been really lucky and haven't had an actual tornado on the ground in our town - until today! As we were dismissing this afternoon, it started pouring, then hailing. When they should have been dismissing bus riders, our principal came over the intercom and told us all to evacuate to the safe shelter. There's a short overhang that we have to walk outside under to get to the safe shelter. The wind and rain were blowing so hard you couldn't see anything and it actually hurt when it hit. Thank goodness my 2 nephews had already come down to my room so I had them with me. I had them each by the hand and wasn't letting go! Evidently, the tornado touched down just a couple miles down the road from us. SCARY!!! I'm so glad we weren't on our way home yet when it hit and I'm so glad our little bus riders hadn't been dismissed yet. I'm tired of spring and it's craziness!
