Last Saturday several small tornadoes visited West Michigan. We had about 10 minutes of warning thanks to our warning sirens. I checked the news alert online and saw that one was coming our way. Another couple was visiting us with their motorhome that was parked in my FHU site next to the garage. Glad to be home and have a basement to shelter in. We sat in the basement and awaited impact. The power was lost and we turned on the flashlights. With no power to my wireless router, we lost contact to the weather station. The wind howled and there was a large THUMP outside the house. I thought that maybe the deck table and its canopy had blown over. Five minutes later we peeked out from the basement. The tornado had missed us but not some neighborhood trees. One of them was mine. It had missed the house. Phew!!
