THANK GOD!!!

Casey's General Store in Williamsville
(We got this picture from the SJ-R.
We're going to go take pictures tomorrow.)

After we left the fairgrounds I headed home with Alex, and Adam headed back to school to talk defense with Aaron. Adam stopped at Casey's in Williamsville to get gas before going to the school, and he got caught right in the middle of a tornado. Luckily he was able to make it into the Casey's store about a minute before the tornado hit. Adam in true fashion, was calm and the voice of reason and directed everyone to get into the cooler. They were only in there a few minutes and the tornado passed. When they came out the entire front of the store was gone and the awning over the gas pumps had collapsed. Adam's truck is currently buried under the awning. Luckily he wasn't hurt! He called me as soon as it happened, but it was about an hour and half later before he finally made it home. I had to call my Mom and have a small freak out, but then I was OK. We truly were blessed today! As my Mom said, a truck can be replaced but not a dad, husband, and son-in-law. God truly is good!! Make sure you hug your loved ones because you never know what might happen!
