Tornados in Vicksburg

On Friday two tornados hit Vicksburg. I didn't even know that adverse weather conditions were on the way. It made our weekend very interesting. Luckily we have a generator and it wasn't too bad. Except those couple of cold showers I took. I was glad today after 73 hours of no electricity to have a loved neccesity to come back on. I think the most frustrating part of having no electricity was the fact that the kids could not seem to grasp that we could not turn the lights on and off and night time was very frightening for them. Other than that, our generator made things go smoothly. However, I am very grateful that it is Spring weather conditions and we did not have to worry about needing an air conditioner, because that would have made the whole expierence quite different. We are very thankful for being able to go to friends house for the weekend to watch conference as well. I think that was a big sanity saver.
Here is our great generator that saved us lots of money. It also helped out several neighbors as well. We were able to run a 100ft cord to the Erekson's and they were just able to plug in there fridge.


I also wanted to include the delicious breakfast we enjoyed. We used our dutch oven several times this weekend as well as a camp stove and our grill!

Yep, that is the part I don't miss! I didn't like the tornados, and huge rain storms. I'm glad it all worked out, though!
