Storm pictures

I tried to get some pictures of the "river" gushing through our carport, but it was too dark.  But here are pictures of the tornado damage less than a mile from our house.

That is one trailer on the right, split in two by a tree.  Notice the uprooted trees and downed power lines. It's pretty mild compared to Arkadelphia in the 90's or even last year's record setting tornado in north Arkansas.  But it was still scary to be driving in!



I'm still amazed we didn't even lose power.  The bayous and rivers are just now cresting, so even though we haven't had rain since Friday, some houses in Bossier City are just now flooding.  One elementary school there just reopened yesterday.  Even here, when I walked my mile yesterday there was water still running across the road at one point!
