Wednesday Night
By
Mackenzie
We were at church on Wednesday night having class. We knew that bad weather was coming but, it was sunny. We were done with class and mom had to clean up. But at 7:50, it hit! Hail the size of pennies pounded everything and it covered the ground. Lightening popping everywhere, we were terrified. Finally, it stopped.
Meanwhile, my dad was at home. We decided to go home too. About half way home mom’s cell phone rang. My dad said to stay there because a tornado was hitting. He said it sounded like a freight train. Then, it was alright.
When we got home, the power was out, TV out, telephone out and silence. My Grandma, who had just had surgery and wasn’t supposed to be driving, drove to our house. She was so scared. About 10 minutes later, a big boom, we ran to the closet. We stayed in the closet for awhile. Then, we went back to the living room and waited about 30 minutes. Then, Grandma went home. We went to see what damage the storm made. We saw Bear Creek Farm, two houses away from us, destroyed. Also, my aunt’s roof came off and a semi flipped over. But now, my dad is making a storm shelter for us, so we will be safe.

Collin
Collin, a 5th grader at Moreland Elementary, has been hospitalized at Egleston for Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis. This is an autoimmune disease where your body attacks your spinal cord. They do expect him to make a full recovery but it could take several weeks to months and he will most likely need physical therapy.
He is currently being heavily sedated in order to prevent him from moving his lower extremities.
Please keep him in your prayers!
