A tornado in town?!

We never would have believed that our neighborhood would have been hit by a tornado. But it was. The damage to some houses and streets is extreme. Our house is about 2 blocks from the edge of line. We had some very small branches and debris down but no damage. We did lose power for about 18 hours. So many trees were lost. This neighborhood was full of really really old and beautiful trees. 

 

 

Thankfully there were no injuries at all. The city was so quick to help pick up brush. Neighbors all came tougher to help clear and clean up. The NEISD crews were amazing because the school playground was hit unbelievably hard. And Northwood was not the only school hit!! But the playground was clear enough to be open (mostly) at school the next day. 

A sad and scary night but it was amazing to see how much work could be done when people came together to help!!
