So yesterday during sacrament meeting at our church, our ward clerk/policeman interrupted the meeting and said, "Everyone needs to get against the walls NOW! There is a tornado touching down behind the church!". So we all stood against the wall for about 45 minutes and every once in a while the Bishop would get up and give us an update. He was totally cool about the whole thing. We had a prayer and throughout the whole prayer it was noisy with debris crashing against the windows, and hail (the size of golf balls or bigger) hitting the roof. It was amazing how calm everyone was. We were definitely protected because less than a block away, huge pieces of fence were ripped up and windows were blown in. Our church wasn't damaged at all. -And we got to go home from church early to check on our houses! Kind of an exciting Sunday!

I want to know who took this picture?What a crazy day!
Spooky! But awesome that you guys were protected at the same time. Were your kids afraid too?
Yeah, who did take that picture?
Glad you guys are okay. Love you.
Oh my word! That is so crazy! I would have loved to be there! That sounds scary and since no one was hurt--exciting!! :D
Oh my gosh! THat's crazy!!! I don't think my kids would have stayed against the wall for anything...
Wow! Glad everyone was ok.
A neighbor took the picture. Bummer that we were at church without our camera.
Holy Cow Zipporah ~ talk about crazy! Glad everything is good!
How crazy!! Did your house have any damage to it? Does that happen alot?
Wow! Crazy, scary. I lived in terror of tornadoes in Colorado Springs, but I guess if one's going to hit, no better place to be than the church, right? That picture is amazing. What an exciting church meeting... sure beats high councilman...
Oh my gosh! How scary. Sounds like you guys are doing great. Email me your address, okay?
