Texas Storms

So Wednesday night we had horrible storms here in Texas. The wind was 70-80mph and tons of rain and some reported tornados. Robert and I were safe here and thankfully our power did not go out..just on/off. My poor parents on the other hand lost their beautiful, huge tree in the front yard. This picture is crazy to me..I grew up in this house and that is just how I picture my parent's home is with 2 big trees on either side of their front yard. I know it is just a tree but it is sad knowing it is gone and that it won't look the same.

The tree when it uprooted broke the water pipes underneath and so my parents were without water until yesterday afternoon when they got a temporary water pipe over ground. But if it makes them feel better the Plano Star Courier Newspaper put their picture of the tree on the front page of the paper today!! I am probably going over to my parents today and will look at it...so sad!

Just grateful that all of my family in the area and in longview are safe and had no life threatening problems during this crazy storm!
