Enterprise

I talked to a very close cousin of mine Wednesday night for the first time in several months. We grew up playing together at Grandma's, went to school together (she was 1 grade ahead of me), and hung out together as teens/young adults, until things like college and marriage got in the way. The fam would stop by her home in Enterprise, AL (she married a guy from there) on our annual trek to Panama City for the Feast. That changed a few years ago, but we still try to keep in touch. Imagine my surprise when, after not talking for several months, the very next day Enterprise is all over the news thanks to a terrible tornado that struck town, including a school. I immediately called to see if they were OK (they have two school-age children), and to my relief they were. I must've called her about 2 hours after the storm, so she didn't know the full extent of the damage. The timing of the whole scenario was a little eerie. I have another younger relative there as well at Ft. Rucker. I think she's fine too. I really feel for the families of those who died in the storm. I probably shouldn't have let Nick watch so much of the news coverage - he's terrified of floods and hurricanes after seeing the Katrina damage, and the end of the movie Deep Impact has given him a healthy fear of tsunamis. I think I'll hold off on the Revelations prophecies until he's a little older. :-)
