Very grateful

We had "big" plans today. We were going to visit the county fair and then drive to my parents' house for dinner. However, it's rained all morning so the fair is doubtful at this point. No big deal, we'll either go tomorrow or we won't...no one is going to lose sleep over this. My mother, though, called an hour ago and canceled our dinner plans. They have been without power since 1AM and according to her, the town looks like a war zone from a storm that went through last night. I've been in contact with a few other friends who confirm that most of the town is without power and it seems as though my mother is not overstating the amount of damage. Fortunately, no one seems to be hurt, and although there are some cars with trees on top of them, I haven't heard of any major damage to buildings. I've also heard that it's thought to be straight line winds, although some of the pictures I've seen show things literally twisted...that to me sounds a little more like a tornado. I'm very grateful that there don't seem to have been any injuries, and Mom says that Dad has plenty of oxygen tanks at this point. I've invited them down in case Dad needs to plug in his oxygen machine (in order to conserve the tanks) or if they are in need of being in a/c. At this point though, they are okay, and I'm grateful for that!
