Okay, so for those of you that don't know, I'm PETRIFIED of storms. Mom has to give me medicine for it sometimes - I don't know, it's just that thunder stuff that gets me. So, we were camping this weekend in Galveston and it had threatened to rain all day Friday but never did. So on Saturday, when the storms started building, nobody would believe mom that it was going to rain on us (except me of course). While we were eating, someone came by and told us a tornado had been spotted close by but dad and Uncle Jim thought we had time to finish dinner. Boy, were they wrong. Uncle Jim said "Man, those clouds don't look good" and before we knew it, things started blowing around and we were grabbing everything to bring inside. Thank goodness mom had given me my medicine before dinner because things got UGLY. Some boy scouts were camping out there and one of their tents blew under our trailer and another wrapped around a truck tire. Even the slideout on the trailer was blowing in. It was raining hard, hailing and that wind was blowing!!!!!! Dad and Uncle Jim said probably around 60 mph and that's not good when you're in a travel trailer. I think even dad was a little nervous - he just wouldn't say. It was not fun - not my favorite trip to the beach. Oh well, we're going to try again next weekend - just in Matagorda this time.

Sorry so long but it was scary.

Talk to ya'll later
