Severe Weather on 4/2/06

Here are some photos from the severe weather that the Midwest experienced on Sunday, April 2. Doug and I were at a birthday party/jam session in Tillis Park when the tornado hit. I feel like we were the lucky ones that afternoon.













The winds took down the top of a tree about ten feet from our pavilion. This tree is about the size that took the life of a young man in Castlewood Park.









The storm, to me, was sort of like a metaphor for life: A calm nice, sunny day, followed by treacherous winds, leaving one to wonder if she will make it through, and then at the end, a beautiful rainbow. I guess I am trying to say, that although a situation may seem bad at the time, in the end, it will always be okay.

You can barely make out the rainbow.
