The funny thing is, we should have been more worried. When we arrived at the church, we all mingled about for a while and joked about the fact that we would all be safe because the church has a basement (although none of us were in the basement).
Then the word came that there was a tornado and we all needed to go to the basement. As people continued to file into the "safe room", news came that a funnel cloud had been seen in the distance.

By the time candles were collected, the warning was over and we all went up to eat. But it rained like gangbusters, the funnel cloud blew over downtown and snapped a power pole, and it freaked out all the people that were downtown for the parade.

And when it was all over, we walked back to the house under sunny blue skies and chirping birds.
It all made us realize that only God is in control...

That sounds like a scary moment. Have you ever had a huge tornado hit your district and have to wait down cellar? It's one thing we never have over here. There is the occasional cyclone up far north in places like Cairns or Darwin but nothing ever along those lines in Adelaide.
I'm glad this one of yours blew over so quickly.
Blessings,
Paula
