I am grateful for....

Family.

I received word this morning that my aunt's house was hit by a tornado. 

 She was in her kitchen making breakfast for my cousin when she felt a burst of suction and saw the roof of her covered porch twisting off.  Thankfully, they made it to the basement, but she fell while going down the stairs and injured her knee and pulled her neck.  

I'm so grateful that they are all okay.  The roof is gone from her porch, laundry room and about 6 feet of her kitchen, but it sounds as though it could have been much worse.

She said it's the scariest thing she's ever experienced.  I cannot even imagine.
