  • I sure didn't expect to film this large family vlog! Not only did we experience storm damage from the possible tornado, but our family was split up during the event! Thankfully, we have friends, family, and a community that's willing to work together and help each other out!

    Shawn must be so proud of how you and the family handled the storm situation while he was away!!! Proves your family is prepared for those unexpected times and don't panic!! You both have done a wonderful job preparing the kids for whatever comes your way!!!

    Be thankful thats all the damage y'all got; our son, and his family, took a direct hit from a tornado in Valley View, TX...total devastation!
    They are safe, but bruised, battered and very sore.
    As they were running to the storm shelter, the wind picked up my pregnant DIL and threw her into a fence.
    They had no warning and all this happened in 2 minutes, or less.
    Due to downed trees and power lines, my husband and I ran 2 miles to get to him, and his family. Wrapping your arms around your babies, after that kind of destruction, has no words.
    Its a night I'll never forget!
    God showed mercy to my family, but so many families lost loved ones.
    Take care and many blessings from north Texas❤

    We have a neighborhood tag team when storms are approaching. I woke up to thunder in the distance at 3:30am. Went out on the porch to check out the sky. I was shocked as to how hot it was that early in the morning. Came back in and turned the tv on- They were scrolling tornado warnings in Mtn Home. At 4 am I started calling neighbors. By 4:30am 12 of us were in another neighbor's basement here in Mammoth. I thought of you when I saw the storms heading your way. We actually had 3 rotation clouds but no touchdown. No damage. Power of prayer! So thankful everybody was safe at your place :)

The storm was terrible and did alot if damage but "Thank you to God" your family is safe. You must be beyond proud that you and your precious children were able to handle all that happened with such fortitude and grace. Your baby girl is so precious and sweet.The older children were so resourceful and talented, hardworking helping you and their beloved homestead. Thank you again for the quite amazing video, you truly are a #1 family, all working together. Way to go MOM!

    Hi Janice. About a week ago we were driving from Portland to our home in Ks (near OK border), we were 4 hrs from home, the sky turned black @ 2pm & there were Tornado warnings in every nearby County, we didn't know if we should sit it out or try to watch the sky & drive accordingly, we were kind of doing both but at one point everyone pulled onto the shoulder so we followed as we were pelted with heavy rain & good sized hail, when we were able to move again we noticed many cars that hadn't pulled over were missing windows. We tried to rent a room but by then the entire town had lost power, most motels had lost windows on one side & they weren't renting to anyone. We finally got someone to rent us a room at 10:30pm. Massive trees were down so even though storm was over we weren't going to drive in the dark. It was quite an experience.

    I love electricity too. Never realize how much you need it until you don't have it.
    Had rain all Memorial day in Minnesota. Bad wind, then bad hail took paint off window trim and many small branches covering the lawn. That was nothing compared to what you're going through and thank you for still doing a video despite all the extra work you got there.
