We had thunderstorms and tornadoes tonight. Took the grandboys to the basement to sleep. All quiet now. Hope it's done.
Welcome to the board....lots of great ideas and fellow quilters here. Penny
Redford Township (our real name) is west of Detroit -- we touch the border. Actually the Detroit border is about 1/2 mile from me. We had some nasty weather last night, too. It wasn't as bad as it was to the south of us -- thank the good Lord for keeping us all safe! The tornado sirens went off, but we had just the heavy rains. There have been some real downpours around here this past week. I drove through a monsoon on Friday night as I was leaving the graduation ceremony of my school's senior class (I teach there). I just hope they didn't get all the heavy rain, hail, etc. that hit in the southeastern area. We were just watching the local news, and some areas were very severely hit. Dundee had a tornado that did some terrible damage. I haven't heard of any fatalities, though.
