Today was quite interesting in central Ohio. We actually even made it to Yahoo! news.
Ohio is generally a very boring place to live. Every now and then there's an interesting news story: like the time the cows escaped from the Franklin County Fair or scandalous Ohio State Buckeyes. Oh no, folks... today we had a tornado!
Actually, it was kind of scary. I was at the mall with Matthew, when my mother-in-law called to tell me to stay put because the sirens were going. Well, of course I think to call Andy because our house is out in the middle of nowhere (very prone to tornadoes, in my opinion-- maybe I've seen too many movies). Anyway, he too said I should stay put and wait for everything to pass.
After a horrendous amount of rain, the storm passed over where I was. Apparently, however, other parts of central Ohio were not so lucky. My mom told me she was watching the funnel cloud circle their house, and I saw pictures of the funnel cloud over my dad's house. SCARY.
Anyway- when I was told I could leave the mall I walked out to see the most beautiful rainbow I have ever seen. It was amazing. I stood and stared at it for ten minutes or so. Sadly, I didn't have my camera but I was able to find a photo of it on the local news website. Rainbows are so encouraging to me. God's promise to His children, and I just love the reminder of His love. :) And I was so thankful that no one I loved was in harms way and that I was able to return to my home and my family! :) Anyway- enough sappiness. Hope everyone is having a great weekend!
