Severe Storm Season is Fast Approaching

The large storm system that moved across North Texas last night is another reminder how powerful Mother Nature is. It's also pretty cool how advanced technology has become. My wife and I were watching the weather report at 9:40pm. We started hearing the tornado sirens and the news reporter said the storm was going to hit us in Allen at 9:48. He showed the rotating winds icon on the weather map and it looked like it was coming straight for us. We got our 3 little kids out of bed and carried them downstairs to the most interior part of our house. We closed all the nearby doors and sat and looked at each other. The wind started picking up and we could hear the rain beat against the windows. So that the children wouldn't be scared, we began singing church songs. After a while the storm died down and a little after 10:00 I went and looked out the windows and turned the news back on. They showed the storm had passed by us and was heading next to Wylie.

I'm thankful my family was safe last night. And I'm glad our TV reception didn't go out (we just switched from Direct TV to AT&T U-Verse).

I'm also glad we had the ability to see the storm approach and had plenty of warning to prior to the event so we could take action.

These storm systems are nothing new - they happen every year. But I would encourage us all to not get lazy about heeding the warnings. Property can be replaced if damaged, but the important things like family and our health/ safety cannot. So, as we enter this stormy season keep your eye on the weather, keep your family close by, and take action when action is needed. And by the way, if you did sustain damage last night or want to be proactive and have your roof checked out - call a professional.
