Well going to work today Jeff noticed that the winds were blowing west instead of east and commented that it could cause a tornado later in the day. Little did we know. I was in a meeting about 11:40 and we heard the hail hitting the windows. We looked out and could not believe the hail that was coming down. We were quickly evacuated to the stairwells within State Farm. Just a few minutes later the wind and hail was hitting the door so hard that I thought at any moment the door was going to come off the hinges. Next to me a gal that I used to work with was very upset and I tried to tell her it would be ok. She had never been thru anything like this. After about a minute the wind subsided and about a half an hour later we got reports that at the Swift building next door the roof had come off the building. There was major damage to most of the cars in the parking lot and some damage to our buildings too. It was a wild day and definitely not what I had in mind for the day. So much for all the work I needed to finish today. I guess there will be major catching up to do next week. Thanks to some friends that I work with who live in our neighborhood I was home by 4pm today.
Our home is fine and we just have had high winds on and off today here.
