The worst storms have gone north of us. But I know that could change at any time.Genevieve Netzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08004780820713448880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20637018.post-10282158269923776592012-03-04T07:07:04.223-06:002012-03-04T07:07:04.223-06:00My family lives a few miles (less than 10) from yo...My family lives a few miles (less than 10) from you.

I had worried since they first began talking about the severe weather coming yesterday.<br /> <br />Wednesday we went on a road trip to Liberty, KY to the quilt shop there with some friends. Storms rolled through here about 6:30, but then the skies cleared, so we headed out. We were about 20 miles down the highway, when we encountered heavy downpours and small hail. Just continued on and it cleared up pretty quickly.<br /> <br />After visiting King's in Liberty, we headed toward Bowling Green to visit Whittle's Quilt Shop in Smith's Grove. About 10 miles outside of Liberty, we saw quite a few emergency vehicles with lights flashing. As we grew closer, it was obvious a small tornado had cut a swath through there. Barns were blown over, trees and power poles snapped and laying on the ground, and some houses were damaged. We could see the debris field across the highway and field to the homes bavck off the road. We just prayed everyone was safe.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20637018.post-12293777571189952652012-03-03T12:38:25.291-06:002012-03-03T12:38:25.291-06:00I am glad that you and your community are OK, too,...I am glad that you and your community are OK, too, Mary!Genevieve Netzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08004780820713448880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20637018.post-10254081904250525492012-03-03T06:42:30.123-06:002012-03-03T06:42:30.123-06:00No damage here in Tuscaloosa, Alabma..Lots of rain...No damage here in Tuscaloosa, Alabma..Lots of rain though.
