dear emily,
people outside oklahoma are always surpised at our cavalier attitude toward
tornadoes. we're as accustomed to them whirling about as the azaleas
blooming each spring. still, they provide some interesting situations. an
adorable young woman recently told me this tornado story.
she and her husband hired a young man to pull some weeds from their yard
to help him raise funds for a mission trip. unfortunately, as he was working,
a three block wide tornado tore through their town, skipping from house to
house. the sirens sounded, and the little bride urged the young man into
their inner closet.
that is what we do in oklahoma.
after they shut themselves in, the poor girl realized that she had barricaded
herself in a closet with another man.
it could have been worse. many people dive for the bathtubs.
love,
lea
