Properly, this prior thirty day period as we’ve been at Camp Tejas in Giddings, TX (about 60 miles east of Austin) we’ve had days in the forty′s, nights in the 20′s and then days in the 80′s. It’s been a somme roller coaster of a month. Layers of coats and shorts. Weighty frost and balmy mornings. Mad truly. But early this morning wins the award for the craziest (and probably the scariest of them all). Soon after a night of major rain, the howling wind woke us up all around 5AM. And then there was the rain that felt like it was coming in diagonal sheets, battering towards the sides of our tin can. We held on restricted, and kept listening for the camp to audio any tornado warnings. We lost electrical power all-around 6AM as the weather conditions ongoing to rage around us. Immediately after viewing the news at noon (electricity was again on by 11AM), we learned that we had been the lucky kinds certainly. We obtained about 3 inches of rain overnight. 50 miles to the SW – just about nine inches! Tornadoes have been noted thirty miles south of us. When we noticed the flooding and damage that had happened so near, we realized that a minor rockin’ and rollin in the household (ok, and some moist carpet by the slide) was Nothing. Thank-you, Lord, for sparing us (and our RV neighbors and camp hosts) any substantial hurt – and be with those people households who’s residences and livelihoods have been radically altered because of to previous nights storms..
