The shock is now gone and the cleanup begins. So many times, the people are forgotten. The killer tornadoes came a little close for my liking this past Friday.
They missed me by five miles, but hit my city of New Smyrna Beach, just thankfully not to the west.
Twenty people lost their lives and many lost everything. Let's hope we can all stand side-by-side and help them rebuild.
Thanks to the many who called, instant messenged and e-mailed. Biskit and I are just fine and prepared to do our part to help our fellow Floridians.
Crazy as it is, Biskit may have saved me had the storm come our way as she was going ballistic, running and barking in my bedroom and eventually hiding under the bed. I took her outside to wee wee and thought it was just a bad storm brewing.
Little did I know the weird skyline and eerie feeling was an actual monster lurking nearby.
Needless to say I now own a quality weather radio. God Bless all those who were victimized by the 2007 killer tornadoes of Central Florida.
