05/23/19 - On 5/22, Beth took me to pick up my car.  The repair was a small motor that controls the idling and the final cost was $387.  We knew that there were some thunderstorms and rain to come in toward evening so soon after dinner,  I decided to go back to the RV before the rain.  I am not sure what time it was, but Beth came out and told me that she got an alert on her phone and there is a tornado warning and she felt I should come back in because she has put the family in the basement.  I had been on the computer checking out the radar and thought to myself that I probably should not wait it out in the RV so I got my flip flops and went to the basement with the family.  When they built their house, the added a safe room in the basement. At one time, it got very warm, very quiet and soon two of the girls and Beth heard awful noice as if something was coming and we all went into the safe room.  Antony was upstairs on the porch and listening but then he also came downstairs.  We then lost power and Antony's company computer and server is in the safe room so he had to do some things to turn the server off.  We then decided, it was safe to go back to the RV and then soon after that another tornado warning was issued but only for a half an hour and I decided to just stay in the RV.  Then a severe thunderstorm move through the area.  There was lightening everywhere with lightning bolts and thunder that was very close.  Then of course the rain.  It lasted for a while.  I decided to stay dressed and stay on the couch because they had the tornado watch and severe thunderstorm watch until 4 am.  The electricity came back on at 1:45 am.  I then decided to finally try to go to bed because things got a little quieter.

This morning, I am learning that a tornado touch down with damage but no lost of life in Eldon, Missouri which is only a little over 6 miles from where I am located. Also, a tornado touch down was in Jefferson City, Missouri which is a little over 36 miles north of us and there is alot of damage in that city.  I am just so thankful, that everything in my area is OK.
