Riding out the Storm


 Last week we experienced our first storm since leaving home in October.  We had tornado warnings, 80 mile per hour winds, hail, rain, thunder and lightening and two funnel clouds were sited in McAllen, just down the road from us. Mickey and Jerry alerted us ahead of time with their nervous behavior.  When the trailer started rocking so bad, and Mickey started shaking we decided it was time to move to the shower room in the park.  Of course it had a tin roof which would not be good if the tornado hit, but at least there were no windows.  Shortly after, our neighbors, Tom and Carol Sykes decided it was best to join us there.  Once there, Mickey and Jerry relaxed and even lied down to take a nap.  Some people in the park decided to weather the storm in their rigs and others in the laundry room.  After it was over we were just very glad we were okay and that there was no damage to the 5th wheel.  Our park suffered only a few branches down and lawn chairs floating in the pool.
