We had some excitement on Thursday, April 16th. There was a tornado warning at the schools. They held the kids until 4:30. At Tulia High School, we were hosting the district track meet, so all the schools were in our building, sitting in the hallways and in the classrooms with no windows. We finally got home about 5:00 and that's about the time the bottom fell out! It rained from 4 inches in about 3 hours.
The first picture is west of Ron and Kylene Miller's house. These cattle had high ground on the north end of the field, but for some crazy reason they thought they had to swim out on the southwest end. The barbed wire fence was coompletely under water and they swam right over/in it.... Some of the calves got hung up, too . If you look closely you can see some bobbing heads. They struggled and struggled, and I thought they were going to drown. Thankfully, they all got out, but some were all cut up and bleeding. I barely got the picture of the charlet calf and the blood showed the most! It was sooo sad but you'll all be glad to hear that they got a count and they all got out! We put them in a pen at Roll-a-Cone and gave them a big round bale of hay!
No this is not snow! It's hail! This is a picture of the Ford house... their back mechanic shop building collapsed.
This is the road that runs west of Dera's house! It looks like a river!
This is Roll-a-Cone road this Saturday morning (same place the calves swam out)! I was supposed to have Brianna's wedding shower at my house today but it's not happening. We had to move it to town to the Memorial Building. What a mess! We prayed for rain and well we got it and we're thankful for it!
