While tornadoes raged in the South early last week, the Duggars were on their way to an ATI homeschool conference in Big Sandy, Texas. At one point during the conference, all two thousand families were told to seek shelter in an inner room, where they joined together in a chorus of "Amazing Grace." While they sang, a tornado touched down only five miles from the camp. Now that's a close call! Thankfully, everyone was safe, and the Duggars, the Bates, and all the other homeschool families were able to enjoy the rest of the conference.
Do you live in an area where tornadoes are common?

I live in Florida so we of another kind here.but yes we have them here also
ReplyDeletewe live in North Texas we never know if one will touch down but, during those storms we did have severe thunderstorms with quarter sized hail. It was so bad that our volleyball field turned into a pond.
ReplyDeleteOur family is in Olathe Kansas, just East of Lawrence, KS where we were honored to meet your lovely family in February.
ReplyDeleteWe get a LOT of storms and hear the tornado sirens quite often, but thank the Lord we have never had one in our immediate area. Most all of the homes in our area have basements, so we have a safe place to go, just in case.
I am so glad your family and all of the other families at the conference were safe!
Blessings,

ReplyDeleteCan someone please let us know if the Duggars are near the flooding?? Is OUR first family safe??
ReplyDeleteThanks!!

ReplyDeleteYes, a tornado touched down 30 miles up the road. We also get hurricanes so it can be doubly scary sometimes.
ReplyDeleteYes we get tornados and hurricanes.
ReplyDeleteYes, we live in North Central Florida and get both tornados and hurricaines. Scary sometimes!
ReplyDeleteYes, In my town alone there were 9 deaths from the April 27th tornados. The people of Alabama need lots of prayers!!! I have family who lost literally everything but the clothes on their backs but luckily, still have their lives!
ReplyDeleteGlad they are ok. I guess we are lucky to live where we do in TN. The Duggars will be back on Memorial Day.
ReplyDeleteI am glad they are OK.
ReplyDeleteWe live in calgary, Canada. We are in a tornado area but our city has the mountains for protection. Last summer though a tornado did touch down and destroyed a garage and a couple fences but luckily that was it!
