Today was freaky. No other way to describe it.
My daughters and I got home from our afternoon errands to discover our neighborhood had a funnel/twister touch down. Thankfully only trees were damaged in our complex. Our neighbors one street over lost their playscapes and a tree was lifted up and landed on the roof.
I posted some pictures to Twitter and a few moments later I had a call from ABC News asking if they could use my pictures. As of tonight they are on a slideshow on their website. I was told they may appear on other programs like Good Morning America.
As neat as that is, I have sat home transfixed with the local news updates and my heart is breaking for Western Massachusetts. So many people have lost their homes and several their lives.
I am so grateful that my family and friends are safe. I feel strongly for my community and pray for everyone affected by the tornadoes in Western Massachusetts tonight.
