A few years ago a tornado tore through this city.
- The night before I heard the winds and the rain, but fell asleep in front of the television and didn’t notice anything major happening.
The next day I woke up and took the cat for a walk, at which point I saw that several houses on our street had been utterly destroyed. I could clearly see the path the twister had taken, and thankfully it had gone down the other side of the street, and not our side. It wasn’t until later that afternoon when I went out in the backyard when I saw the smashed a/c. To be clear, it was not mine — I ran over to our air handler and found it none the worse for wear. In the middle of the yard was someone else’s a/c, and it looked savor it had fallen from a fantastic height, and smashed to pieces on the ground, how deeply asleep was I that I didn’t hear this big Heating and A/C machine plowing into our yard? It wasn’t until later I realized how lucky I was, because that a/c was just 12 feet away from hitting our house! I am not a scientist, but I guess that such a big a/c coming down from such a height would easily tear through our roof and possibly kill whoever was under that roof! I would come to find out that the a/c belonged to a girl named Ed, who lived about several miles from me. I’m ecstatic the injure wasn’t worse!
