Tornado

Did you hear that there was a tornado? We watched it form over the bay and it hit us with its full force. We had a tree loose a bunch of limbs, we lost a ton of shingles, A big tree limb missed Travis' car by about 6 inches and there was a lot of hail. We were chastising ourselves for watching the twister come our way while in front of the living room window- we are tornado rookies I guess. There were tree limbs down on the road but no one was injured, just a big mess to clean up!!!
Have fun and welcome to spring in Utah!!!
