Lone Grove Tornado

Okay, so most everyone knows that a tornado hit our town last week. Well, exactly one week ago from today! I'm happy to be able to report that none of our students lost their lives, but we did have parents that were lost and LOTS of students that lost their homes. I will post some pictures when I can. I'm at work right now and will have to do it at home. I have never lived so close to where a tornado has hit before. It was and continues to be so scary. We're so nervous about the weather right now. It has been cloudy and a little rainy for a couple of days now, and we're all looking at the radar to see if anything is supposed to come this way. I don't know when that will stop. One little boy in Delaney's class lost his home. She still doesn't completely understand what that means and what is all going on right now. I'm not hiding anything from her and I've even taken the kids through the disaster zone to see the damage. I think it is very important to use this as a teaching tool as to have respect for Mother Nature. I haven't been freaking out in front of the kids and such, so I guess that's why Delaney has been taking everything so well. She just keeps asking if we've ever had one when she was a little baby. Not sure were that came from???? But, if everyone would please pray for the families that lost loved ones and for the families that have lost everything else. I will post the pictures, but they do not compare to seeing it with your own eyes. It makes me cry every time--like right now.
