Please take a moment to reflect..

03/04/2012

All, as you are well aware, we had some deadly storms pass through Southern Indiana and Kentucky on Friday.  I even received via text message from IU East that they were taking cover. (Very, very awesome feature, Kudos to IUE!)  The sirens went off Friday afternoon while at work, and we were told to take shelter by 2:00 pm, by 3:30 pm we were able to return to work.  After hearing on the radio that there was rotation spotted in Bretzville, where my house is, I had to go home.  I no longer wanted to be at work.  Got home, and Thanked God there was no damage.  However, 40 miles south of here, Henryville, was hit incredibly hard.  It was the same storm that went past my home.

This is what is left of Henryville,

and to think this happened in a matter of seconds is unreal.

Therefore, even though they are calling for 1-3 inches of snow this evening (crazy Indiana Weather), I'm sitting back on this calm, cold evening, reflecting and incredibly thankful for what I have today, and taking nothing for granted.

Please join me in doing the same.
