06.07.09 ~ Tennis and Tornados ...

This Sunday, I got to experience something pretty amazing ... watching Roger Federer win the French Open for the first time. He has now tied Pete Sampras for holding the most grand slams in history - 14. Hopefully, he will do well in Wimbledon coming up in a couple of weeks and make it 15 grand slams! Man, I am Roger's biggest fan ...


... So as I'm watching the French Open on TV, I hear a tornado warning go off outside our home. I wake Nate up and we go outside and we see this outside our door ...




So SCARY! I am so thankful the tornado did not touch down where we live! It actually landed and destroyed a considerable amount of homes just three minutes away from where we live. The worst damage we got was from the hailstorm that came our way. The hail was as big as the size of golf balls - no joke - and the hail dented both our cars a "bajillion" times! We are bummed that now our cars have dents all over the top, but at least none of us were hurt, and our home did not get damaged from the awful storm.





I hate tornados.

No way Amber. That is insane. I had no idea hailstorms could create that much damage. And yes, I was excited that Federer won. Next time, I want him to beat Nadal to do it.

Holy cow, those were huge hailstones! I heard about the tornadoes and thought of you guys. Sorry about your dented cars.

Awesome that you got video of the tornedo and the hail. I didn't have enough of a sound mind during it to take photos. Thankfully, my neighbor did :)

I liked Nate's comment: I hope the insurance covers this!
