Where we live we have to deal with tornado/waterspout warnings on a fairly regular basis (one tore up a neighboring town 10 years ago), but fortunately they don't touch down very often. My son & I got caught in a near miss a few years ago on our way to the Aaronic Priesthood campout. So we went home and had a bike ride and a pizza instead. ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16599189680933270063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5547713394963934439.post-13026380247490236462012-06-08T06:19:42.539-06:002012-06-08T06:19:42.539-06:00Amazingly enough there was very little property da...Amazingly enough there was very little property damage from the storm and apparently no injuries either. It could have been a lot worse. We were lucky, and as our town mayor said in an interview, “We dodged a bullet with this one.”giantCplushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15846947078493377433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5547713394963934439.post-22247722184408107882012-06-07T22:08:42.994-06:002012-06-07T22:08:42.994-06:00My goodness C what an amazing experience!
I am so...My goodness C what an amazing experience!<br /><br />I am so glad you and yours are OK, hopefully all your townsfolk came through it alright. The whole storm imagery is such a metaphor for so many things in our lives.<br /><br />It reminds me of one of my favorite scriptures, from Alma 26:<br /><br />6 Yea, they shall not be beaten down by the storm at the last day; yea, neither shall they be harrowed up by the whirlwinds; but when the storm cometh they shall be gathered together in their place, that the storm cannot penetrate to them; yea, neither shall they be driven with fierce winds whithersoever the enemy listeth to carry them.<br /><br /> 7 But behold, they are in the hands of the Lord of the harvest, and they are his; and he will raise them up at the last day.<br /><br />This is the promised blessing to those who heed His words and follow His counsels.<br /><br />You have been in the hands of the Lord too. Don't be too tough on yourself for not following the prompting immediately, you recognized it for what it was, and in the end you followed it to safety. Further you can see the powerful way the Lord both protected and gently taught you an important life lesson. <br /><br />I am always humbled and awed by the Lord's ability to take a really adverse situation that naturally occurs and can turn it to a blessing in the lives of those who place themselves in His hands.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing this incredible experience with us.
