[Midway]

In June '98 an in-air tornado came over our house. I remember hearing the "freight train" and looking outside seeing the rain going sideways. I got everyone into the hall and we heard all kinds of crashing sounds outside. When it was over I went outside and saw four trees down in the yard. One was one of two old oaks in the front yard (Katrina got the other one when it came through). I also noticed several shingles missing off the roof so I had to get up there and cover what I could with tarp while it was still raining and lightning.

Since then I cannot sleep when it storms at night. I keep listening for the "freight train" to return.
