Just wanted everyone to see what we survived on Wednesday. Many people dead, injured and missing. We had 3 tornado warnings on Wed. Three times we rushed to the community tornado shelter across the highway. The second warning was the worst. After we got to the shelter we turned and watched a tornado jump our street and and head north east. It got so bad and we rushed in at the last minute and shut the door. There are 2 shelters side by side and they were just about full. Just a few minutes went by and we came out.. People started getting phone calls that the tornado touched down again just 3 miles up the highway. It followed the highway into the little town of Smithville MS and totally wiped it off the map. I have never seen anything like it and I was terrified. When we went home my neighbors house was cut in two by a huge oak tree. I have some shingle damage and that's all. This was such a close call. The tornado was on the ground and came off a big hill just south west of us. It jumped the waterway and our street of houses. It is reported to be a F4 possibly an F5.

On a better note, Hachemi passed his citizenship interview yesterday. We will now wait for the letter about the oath. Hard to celebrate with so much sadness in our community.

This is the tornado on top of the hill before it went over our house. It was taken by a friend of my daughter.

Video I made with my cell phone, just seconds before jumping in the shelter. You can hear Hachemi talking with his southern slang. He says " It's bad, Ain't it?" Our house is just behind that row of trees.

Happy you are safe and congratulations to Hachemi on passing his interview!

Thank you, Ladies. I just got an email from ABC News with Diane Sawyer. They want to use my video in a story they are doing on the Smithville tornado. I told them, sure, go ahead!

Thanks so much. It has now been classified as an F5 tornado. I am sitting here still trying to figure out why it lifted and went over us. It was on the ground and lifted for 4 miles before it touched down again. I am so thankful and sad at the same time. I told Hachemi that we came so close to losing everything. I hate to say we where lucky when so many people were not.
