Scratch

So, we got back from our vacation today. I'm all happy and- MY GOD. We turn the corner into my town, and I see trees toppled. Whole, huge oak trees.  Extremely damaged roofs. I got a horrible feeling.....I heard there was a tornado watch in my county, but not this bad. Obviously I was horrified of what happened to our house. Luckily, my family was saved.

Since we live on a big hill, the tornado's huge wind storms stopped only about a few houses away from our house. Only a few small branches and twigs fell. I honestly cannot tell you how lucky I am that our cherry tree was not ripped apart. Although I heard nobody died, I'm kind of scared for my friend, who lives down the hill. I haven't contacted her yet.

(By the way, there was even worse damage, like garage's going off foundations and roofs flying.)
