Guest guest Posted September 23, 2003 Report Share Posted September 23, 2003 Wow! There were tornados in our area this morning. Tornados are NOT that common around this area. One touched down in the town that I grew up in Narberth, PA and another hit the town where my sister and her family, 2 of my friends and their families and one of my sisters-in-law and her family all live. (Havertown, PA) My parents got away with a little dirt blown around their front porch but the other side of the little town had major damage and power outages. My sister's house is fine but my niece's elementary school lost power and a tree crushed a car across the street from her school. I haven't heard from the one friend but the other had no problems. My sister in law's street was hit VERY hard. Many trees down, 2 of the trees hit the church at the other end of her street and naturally they have no power or telephone. The cemetery across the street from her house has grave stones that have been knocked over and driven into the ground by the force of the winds. The parish school has lost part of it's roof. If the tornado had come by 15 minutes later the children who walk to school would have been on the street. We are thanking God that there were NO serious injuries. Wow the devastation is awful though! if it's not a hurricane it's a tornado..... the people in both towns were also hit by a lot of power outages due to Isabel last week! Please keep those hit so hard in your thoughts and prayers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
