Crazy Arkansas Weather.

This week we have had some crazy weather. As if I'm not scared of storms enough, the terrible storm that hit Jonesboro Thursday was right in the middle of a school day. I was sitting in my car on the phone with Landon with the storm blew up. Yes, I was freaking out. He didn't believe me when I said it was THE strongest wind I had ever seen in my life. Then came the rain. Side blowing rain that could take your eyes out if you aren't careful. Next came the tornado sirens. All I could think about were my kids in the classroom who were napping. I tried to push my car door open but the wind was too strong so I had to wait for it to die down for a minute. Finally it did and I cut out running to the back door right beside my classroom. By the time I got to the building a huge gust of wind came and almost knocked me over to the point I had to grab the corner of the building and pull myself around. It was quite traumatic. Luckily I had left the back door unlocked, so I swung it open and ran in only to find my classroom empty! I could hear my kids saying/screaming "Where's Mrs. B?!!" They were already in tornado mode thanks to my great new tech! We were in tornado mode for a good hour and a half. Our power went out at 12:45 and was still out when I left at 3:30. It was a crazy, crazy day but everyone is safe and that's all that matters. I didn't really have time to freak out a lot because I was taking care of my kids who were freaking out. So it worked out. 😉
