How crazy was that weather last night!?!! I know it scared the pants off me! We just moved to Winston last month into a house with no basement...so I was really not happy last night! We were lucky though....all the rotation stayed north or south of us...even if only by miles. I hope those who were caught in the worst of it made it out ok...I know of one family mourning the loss of a loved one today  and my heart and prayers go out to that family ...who ever  you are. Pray for those with injuries spending time in the hospital this morning and those who have had serious damage to their homes. With the possibility of more storms Sunday I really hope you find a safe place to spend the night and that you are spared anymore damages.

On a different note.............

I have some Video of the lightening around the Hanes mall area from last night. It is on my cell phone so not the best  quality but on a bigger screen you can see the duller flashes and see how constant it is...and I think I even captured  an actual bolt of lightening streaking across the sky . Anyway it is of the storms rolling in and out...I was in to much of a panic during to  take video (never seen weather like that before).  As soon as I figure out how to upload it to this site  from my computer i will have it up....wanted to send it to Fox 8  but can't figure out how...besides they probably have enough fotage of it and right now focused on damages.

 

Again my prayers go out to those who lost someone, were injured or had damage to their homes...Stay safe should it get bad again this weekend!

I know the feeling. We don't have a basement either. Normally in our tornadoes, you will be safe in an interior room on the bottom floor. Bathroom or closet.

I am a 25 year old stay at home mom of one very smart and active 4 year old. I have been married for 3+ years and together for 6+ years. I have lived in NC for the past 9 years. I met my husband here in NC after we both spent most of our lives in Ohio an hour apart (I 16 years in the same town and house him for 14 years I think). After spending 3 days together we both knew that we would be together for the rest of our lives... though it took us 3 years and a baby to get married! (we did not get married because of our son as a side note) My biggest dream is to become a well known artist and make a living at it. I do all kinds of art including plaster carvings, painting, scratch board, and sketching. I did not go to school for my art, I have been at it since before i can remember. I am self tought. I also do some crafts such as cross stitch and croche'. I have done work painting sets and making posters for The Staind Glass Playhouse in Winston Salem as well as some set painting in Lewisville for the West Side Civic Theatre. My husband, who is an actor, is the reason I got associated with these theatres to begin with. It is alot of work and fun but I am always glad to see winter months ahead and not just because I like the cold weather! Recently my Art activity has increased and things are looking good in the way of possibly making a living at this...slow going but you got to start somewhere! One day you may just know my name and face without having ever met me! Heck you may even buy a painting or ask me for a portrait of your family members!
