We had a rough couple of days in Michigan, but my family came through it ok. I don't know how if you heard about the severe weather we had on Thursday, but there were tornadoes and severe thunderstorms and golf ball size hail and whatnot.
Anyway, my daughter got the golf ball size hail, a tornado touched down about a mile from where my sister, my brother and my niece live and where my son was working, we mostly got hail and high winds. A large tree fell on the power lines right by our house, cars overturned down the road from us, and a friend of my son's had houses on both sides of his completely wiped out. Luckily nobody was seriously hurt here, but at least two lives were lost a couple of counties away.
Anyway, things are settled down here now. The winds are still a a little gusty at times, but nothing too serious. They are still cleaning things up in some places, but I am thankful that my family and friends are safe.

It was a terrible scare, especially knowing that the tornadoes were touching down all around us. I heard about one touching down within a mile of my sister, my brother, my niece, and where my son was working, but had no more information. I saw police cars and ambulances rushing down my road. Many people nearby had roofs torn from their homes. Over 80 acres of trees were wiped out just down the road from me. My prayers go out to all of the families who lost lives and property in these tornadoes, and I am thankful that my family and friends made it safely through the storms with only minor damage...

Wow it sounds like you had one heck of a storm. I am glad that all your friends and family are safe. That is the main thing. Possesions can be replaced but people cant. It was awkful early in the season for this kind of storm, wasn't it?
